Blood flows from the right ventricle of the heart into the lungs through the pulmonary arteries that carry deoxygenated blood. From the lungs, oxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart.

∙ 9y agoPulmonary circulation involves movement of the blood without oxygen from the right side of the heart into the pulmonary artery of the lungs. In the lungs, blood intakes air. Now with oxygen, blood leaves the lungs and enters the pulmonary veins to return to the left side of the heart.

∙ 13y agoYes, blood needs to go into the lungs via the pulmonary artery so gas exchange can occur. This turns the oxygen poor blood in the pulmonary artery into oxygen rich blood which is carried back to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
No, then the pathway would be wiped out and you would not be able to breathe.

∙ 9y ago- The heart is a part of the circulatory system,which transports food, oxygen and water around the body, all of which are needed by us to stay alive.
The heart muscles pump blood continuously around our body, and we cannot control the movements of them like we can control the muscles in our arms and legs.
The heart is made up of four chambers: the left and right atria and ventricles. The right side always handles deoxygenated blood, and vice versa. In order that the two do not mix, there is a thick muscular wall between them. One can claim that the cycle begins at any point, but for our purposes, it shall begin with vena cavae (these are the main veins carrying blood from the body to the heart) bringing deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. It is then pumped through a valve through to the right ventricle, and it then goes into the pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs. It gives the lungs carbon dioxide to breathe out and in return takes oxygen. It then goes to the left atrium, and it is pumped through a valve to the left ventricle, at which point it goes to the aorta, which is the main artery to the body. It supplies the cells with oxygen, but it soon runs out, at which point it goes back to the vena cavae, and we have completed a cycle.

∙ 11y agoYes; pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood between the heart and lungs.

∙ 11y agoIt involves the flow of blood from the right ventricle into the plumonary artery then into the lungs and back to the heart via the plumonary vein.

What is the last valve oxygen depleted blood must pass through before pumping to the lungs?
A
Through what organ must the blood pass in order to change its way?
The oxygen is passing from through the walls of the capillaries and the organs' walls. There are specially designed proteins which are allowed from the cell, to pass through the cell's wall (membrane).
Through how many heart valves must a blood cell pass as it moves from the brain to the lungs?
2
What gas enters the blood through the lungs?
oxigen is the gas that enters the blood through the lungs
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Which organ must the bloodpass through before it is returned to the rest of the body?
Your blood must pass through your lungs, before it goes to the rest of the body.

Where does blood come to lungs?
Blood enters the lungs through the pulmonary arteries.
What gas will pass from the blood into the lungs?
carbon dioxide
What gas enters the through the lungs?
oxigen is the gas that enters the blood through the lungs
Why does the blood go through the lungs on its journey around the body?
The blood goes through the lungs because the blood has to get purified and then go to all parts of the body.
What vessels carries blood the lungs to the lungs to the heart?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
