There is a pulmonary trunk and an aortic arch in the heart. The pulmonary trunk sends oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle up through it to the lungs to gain oxygen and then comes back into the heart via the left atrium.
The aortic arch sends out blood to the entire body from the left ventricle.

What vessels do the pulmonary trunk divide into?
The pulmonary trunk divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries.
Trace blood flow from the brain to the right thumb?
R palmar ditigal vv, R palmar arch, R radial vein, R brachial, R axillary, R subclavian, R bracheocephalic, superior vena cava, R atrium, R ventricle, R/L pulmonary arteries,lungs. R/L Pulmonary veins, L atrium, L ventricle, aortic arch, left subclavian a, L common carotid artery, L external carotid artery, L superficial temporal artery, and possibly to the L posterior auricular a.
What is the arch of the mouth that is the movable arch?
Dental
What open and allow blood to flow into pulmonary trunk?
The Pulmonary Semilunar Valve allows blood from the right atrium into the pulmonary trunk.
What is pulmonary infarction?
A Pulmonary Infarction is the death of a small area of lung resulting from pulmonary embolism. It occurs in a small, dead-end pulmonary artery and often causes pain in the back or chest.PI is an an infrequent consequence of Pulmonary Edema(< 10% of cases). It is sometimes due to thrombosis in situ of the pulmonary arteries as might occur in congenital heart disease associated with severe pulmonary hypertension or in hematologic disorders (eg, sickle cell anemia).
What is the function of the pulmonary arch?
either the right or the left sixth aortic arch that in the human fetus persists on the right side as the right pulmonary artery and on the left side as the ductus arteriosus and part of the pulmonary trunk
How can you trace a drop of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right radial artery?
Why would you want to do that. You would have to cut open the heart and watch the blood move from the pulmonary artery through the heart and into the right radial artery.
Why does a fetus have a special bypass to connect the pulmonary artery to the systemic arch?
because the lungs are deflated and not yet a source of oxygen.
Where is the ligamentum arteriosum in the heart located?
The ligmentum arteriosum is the remnant of the ductus arteriosus in the fetal heart. The fossa ovalis is the remnant of the foramen ovale.
What is vascular reflexogenic zones?
They are area in the blood vessels that have high concentration of receptors [e.g pulmonary artery,svc&ivc,aortic arch and bifurcation of the common carotid artery].
What carry blood to the lungs?
The blood is sent to the lungs through the pulmonary aorta. It divides into left and right branch. The blood comes from the body. This blood is devoid of oxygen and at times called as impure blood.
What path would blood make if you traced it from your spleen to your right hand?
Well the blood will first return to the heart via the inferior vena cava. It enters the right atrium, the right ventricle and is pumped out the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary artery, headed to the lungs to become oxygenated. Then it will return to the heart from the pulmonary arteries, enters the left atrium, then ventricle, where it will be pumped out the aortic semilunar valve to the aortic arch/aorta, and will follow the Brachiocephalic artery where it turns in to your axillary, and then the brachial. From there, the brachial artery splits, but both go in to the hand, and connnect together at the superficial palmar arch. Hope that helps :)
The flow of blood from the left atrium through the body is?
After entering the Right Atrium from either the Inferior or Superior Vena Cava, the blood is pumped through the Tricuspid Valve into the Right Ventricle before entering the Pulmonary Arteries through the Pulmonary Valve. From the lungs, the freshly oxygenated blood travels through the Pulmonary Veins into the Left Atrium, passes through the Bicuspid Valve into the Left Ventricle, and is pumped through the Aortic Valve into the Aortic Arch and to the rest of the body.
What about different kinds of arches used in architecture?
There are three different configurations of arches including the fixed arch, the two-hinged arch, and the three-hinged arch. These configurations determine how stable the arch will be. Types of arches include the triangular arch, semi-circular arch, segmental arch, rampart round arch, lancet arch, equilateral pointed arch, and jack arch. Additional types of arches include the trefoil arch, horseshoe arch, three-centered arch, elliptical arch, inflexed arch, ogee arch, reverse ogee arch, Tudor arch, and parabolic arch.
What word refers to the lungs?
pneum or pulmon
What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
