oxygen-poor blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. gas exchange occurs in the lungs and the oxygenated blood is then returned to the left side of the heart through pulmonary veins

describe the path blood follows through the pulmonary circulation loop
What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?
pulmonary circulation the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
How would you define pulmonary circulation?
pulmonary circulation the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?
Pulmonary circulation is the exchange of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation is the the exchange of blood between the heart and the body overall
Is pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?
Yes.
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?
Pulmonary pertains to the Lungs. Cardiac pertains to the Heart.
Describe the path blood follows through the systematic circulation loop?
In the systemic circulation, blood leave the left atrium, passes through the bicuspid valve, and enters the left ventricle. From there it is pumped to the aorta and to progressively smaller arteries. Materials diffuse at the capillaries, and blood returns to the heart via progressively larger veins to the vena cava. When the vena cava carries blood to the right atrium, the blood is entering the pulmonary circulation loop.
How is oxygen depleted blood carried to the lungs?
This is through the Pulmonary Circulation.
How does the pulmonary circulation work in your body?
Much like the systemic circulation, but at a lower pressure: Blood flows from the right ventricle through pulmonary artery to lungs where the gases are exchanged to pulmonary vein to left atria.
What is the difference between pulmonary circulation coronary circulation and systematic circulation?
the circulation is divided into 2 circulations 1st is pulmonary circulation in which what happens is that when the pulmonary artery caring impure blood to the lungs for purification and the pure blood (oxygenated) in brought back from lungs to heart through pumonary vien, this is pulmonary circulation 2nd systematic circulation in this what happens is that the pure blood from the left ventricle is forced to all other part of the body through aorta to all the cells and tissues, after the diffusion in which stuffs are interchanged( carbon dioxide and glucose and oxygen) it is brought back to the heart through inferior or superior vena cava, this is systemic circulation Finally, the coronary circulation is the circulation of blood that feeds the heart itself, since it does not receive any oxygen from the systemic or pulmonary circulations.
In pulmonary circulation blood flows through two organs?
Heart and Lungs
What ventricle is responsible for blood flow through the pulmonary circulation?
right ventricle
