When your heart's left ventricle (one of the four chambers of the heart) pumps blood into the aorta (the largest artery in the body), the first muscle to receive the oxygen-rich blood is your heart itself. It receives this blood through the coronary arteries on the surface of the heart.
Quick Answer. The heart and the lungs are the primary organs of the circulatory system. The lungs are responsible for adding oxygen to blood. This oxygen-rich blood is then pumped to the heart, which then circulates it through the arteries to all the tissues throughout the body. Veins then return the blood for the addition of new oxygen and recirculation.
