The blood cells carry carbon dioxide to the lungs which, through the mechanism of breathing, gaseous exchange takes place with the carbon dioxide leaving the body while someone breathes out. When they breathe in again, the blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries get loaded with oxygen and the new oxygen rich blood goes to the heart to be sent around the body.

Where does blood flow from the right atrium?
right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle --> pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary arteries --> lungs --> pulmonary veins --> left atrium --> bicuspid valve --> left ventricle --> aortic semilunar valve --> aorta --> arteries and capillaries --> cells --> venules, veins, vena cava --> right atrium -->thoughtfulobserver
What is brisk capillary refill?
Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.
What is the exchange of gases between the alveolar air and pulmonary capilaary blood?
From inside the capillary (where the red blood cells are), Oxygen will be given up to the body cell and this will be replaced in the red blood cell by Carbon dioxide from the body cell.
The path of blood flow in the vascular system?
'''Arteries, Arterioles, Capillary beds, Venules, Veins'''
What is capillary telangiectasia?
Capillary telangiectasia's are small areas of dilated capillaries within otherwise normal brain tissue. It is hard to find Capillary telangiectasia's on a MRI test.
What 3 types of vessels in lungs?
They are pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, and capillary.
How do pulmonary agents cause pulmonary edema?
They damage the alveolar-capillary membrane
What is a pulmonary arteriole?
a small artery that leads to a capillary network
Why does oxygen move from the aveloi into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Because of difference in partial pressure
What is the mechanism that allows oxygen to move from the alveolar into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Simple diffusion
What does the alveoi do?
They are especially significant in the gas (air) exchange through to the pulmonary alveolar-capillary membrane.
Trace the path of a red blood cell in a circuit that takes it from the capillary bed of the right kidney to the capillary bed of the left kidney Consider that you are doing this for an animal with a?
capillary bed of the right kidney---venules---veins---right atrium---right ventircle---pulmonary arteries---capillary of the lungs---pulmonary veins---left atrium---left ventricle---aorta---arteries---arterioles---capillary bed of the left kidney (ALMOST positive about the answer, I just had a test on it. Hope it helps!)
Which transport mechanism causes the respiratory gases to move across the alveolar pulmonary capillary membranes?
Diffusion
What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
Complete the following scheme of circulation of a red blood cell in the human body Right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the through the valve to the pulmonary trunk to the?
Pulmonary valve to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to the pulmonary veins to the left atrium thru the mitral valve to the left ventricle thru the aortic valve to the aorta to the capillary beds to the superior and inferior cavaFrom the right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary trunk to the right and left pulmonary arteries, to the capillary beds of the right and left lungs, to the pulmonary veins, to the left atrium of the heart through the mitral valve, to the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve, to the capillary beds, to the systemic veins, to the superior vena cava, and inferior vena cava, which enter the right atrium of the heart.Inflowing part of right ventricleGoes to the Right Ventricle.After entering the right atrium from the body and through the tricuspid vavle, it goes into the right ventricle....Pulmonic valves, pulmonary trunk, to the lungs...
How does high pulmonary capillary wedge pressure indicate high left atrial pressure?
There is little resistance between the pulmonary artery (where the catheter is placed in PCW) and the left atrium. This means that the pressure remains about constant.
Does Gas exchange between the air in the alveolus and the blood takes place at the pulmonary capillary?
Diffusion due to differences in air pressures.
