The blood leaves the right side of the heart via the atrioventricular valve then onto the pulmonary artery where it enters the capillary network around the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs where the red blood cells that carry oxygen are in close contact with the oxygen in the air. Here they offload carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, before returning to the left atria to be pumped into the left ventricle and on to the rest of the body.

after it is done with the pulmonary circulation it goes directly to the lungs
What is the route blood takes from the heart to the lungs and back again?
The pulmonary circulation takes blood from the heart to the lungs and back again. Blood moves from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, then into the lungs where blood is oxygenated. Blood returns from the lungs to the heart in the pulmonary vein, and enters the left atrium.
Describe the path blood follows through the pulmonary circulation loop?
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
What organ in the heart where pulmonary circulation is started?

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
