Trace (describe) the pathway of a carbon dioxide gas molecule in the blood from the inferior vena cava until it leaves the bloodstream. Also, name all structure (vessels, heart chambers, and others) passed through en route.

 

I need help with this please!!!

IVC up to heart, then to lungs, gaseous exchange in the alveoli and out to the air via bronchioles, bronchi, trachea etc. I assume they want you to learn and fill in the details?

remember that blood leaving the R ventricle goes into the pulmonary artery...
