The right ventricle pumps blood up into the pulmonary artery so that it can pass by the lungs and be oxygenated. hope that helps, lm 92

Does the right ventricle move blood around the systemic system?
No, the right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation. The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation.
Systemic circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs?
system circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
What is the function of the l and r ventricle?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
Why is the myocardium of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
What does the right atrium?
The right atrium receives blood from the systemic circulation. It then assists in filling the right ventricle.
What is order that blood enters the heart?
Blood enters the heart from the systemic circulation in the right atrium, and then moves to the right ventricle. From there, blood is pumped into the pulmonary circulation. When the blood returns from the lungs, it enters the left atrium, then left ventricle, then is pumped to body tissues via the systemic circulation.
What is function of systemic circulation?
the circulation of blood through the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the general system, from the left ventricle to the right atrium
What type of blood does the the right side if the heart contain?
The right side of the blood receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic (body) circulation. The right atrium receives blood from the systemic veins and pumps it into the right ventricle. At that point, the right ventricle pumps that blood to the lungs.
To what parts of the body the left ventricle pumps blood?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation, reaching all parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation, where the blood picks up oxygen.
What is the route through the heart?
Blood flows from the systemic circulation into the right atrium of the heart, then passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. From there, blood is pumped to the lungs. On the blood's return from the lungs, it enters the left atrium, then moves through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle. From there, it is pumped to the systemic circulation.
What is a ventricle?
In the heart, a ventricle is a heart chamber which collects blood from an atrium (another heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle) and pumps it out of the heart. Also another definition is.... The paired (right and left) more muscular chambers of the heart that pump blood into the pulmonary (right ventricle) and systemic (left ventricle) circulation. Right Ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the pulmonary artery. Left Ventricle: Receives blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the aorta.
What is the phase of ventricular contraction called?
It is called systole. This is when the ventricles contract and eject blood into the lungs (from the right ventricle) or into the systemic circulation (from left ventricle).
