I'm trying to find an answer to anatomy question and can't find it in
my text book.

Trace a drop of blood from the heart to the big toe and back.

Thanks in advance
Yvette

Not going to find this problem in a book but you will find the answer. If
you have a diagram of the circulatory system in your book, follow the
arteries as they branch out downwards. Once you get to the toe, follow
veins back to the heart.

Depending upon where in the heart you start, there could be an extra
pass through the lungs. In fact if you trace the blood back to it's
exact starting point there would have to be.
