Deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the right atrium and then it flows through the triscuspid valve into the right ventricle. (The term tricuspid refers to the three flaps of tissue that make up the valve). Contraction of the ventricle then closes the tricuspid valve and forces open the pulmonary valve. Blood then flows into the pulmonary artery. This branches immediately, carrying blood to the right and left lungs. Here the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on a fresh supply of oxygen. The capillary beds of the lungs are drained by venules that are the tributaries of the pulmonary veins. Four pulmonary veins, two draining each lung, carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. Blood also flows throughout the major arteries of the body.

What are the three types of circulation?
the three types of Blood Circulation are.Portal circulationPulmonary (Lesser) circulationSystemic (Greater) circulation
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
What is the only organ that systemic circulation does not carry blood to?
The lungs
What circulation disperses oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.?
It is the Systemic circulation, which is part of the cardiovascular system.
Systemic circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs?
system circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
Movement of blood through out the body?
Systemic circulation
Which of the two paths of blood circulation is shorter?
the systemic systemic circulation
What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?
Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.
Is the pulmonary artery a part of systemic circulation?
The blood circulation in the Lungs, called the pulmonary circulation, is COMPLETELY a part of the general, systemic circulation of Blood.
What is the flow of blood to the tissues of the heart?
coronary circulation
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
What is the purpose of systemic circulation?
The purpose of systemic circulation is to carry blood from the heart to the body. It then returns the blood back to the heart.
What is the movement of blood in the body?
The circulation of blood throughout the body is called systemic circulation. It excludes the circulation of blood to the lungs (pulmonary) but includes the portal circulation (between the gastrointestinal tract and the liver).
What are the two types of circulation in the body?
Pulmonary - carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Systemic - carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
What is the complete path of blood in the whole body in systemic circulation?
which part completes the path of blood in whole body(systemic)circulation
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.
Blood returning from the body (systemic circulation) enters which chamber of the heart?
Blood returning from the body systemic circulation first enters which chamber of the heart?
