Oxygen rich blood is taken though the pulmonary capillaries to the pulmonary venules. It is returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins that empty into the left atrium. From the left atrium, the oxygen rich blood is pumped into the left ventricle and out of the heart to the rest of the body though the aorta.

What happens to the blood before it returns to the left atrium of the heart?
Blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs, then the oxygenated blood goes to the heart via the pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium
Blood that enters the heart from the lungs carries?
Oxygenated blood or oxygen rich blood.
What happens after blood returns to the lungs?
it carrys on the same cycle over and over again hope dis helps
What collects blood from the lungs?
Blood that has perfused the lungs and is now oxygenated collects into the pulmonary veins to travel back to the heart. Once reaching the heart, oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium. The left atrium collects blood from the lungs
Where does the blood that enters the atrium come from?
Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium. The blood then moves from there to the left ventricle, aorta, and on the rest of the body.
What is pulmonary circulation?
Pulmonary Circulation is part of the Cardiovascular system in which it carries oxygen depleted blood away from the heart and to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Deoxygenated blood exits the heart through the pulmonary arteries and enters the lungs and oxygenated blood comes back through pulmonary veins. The blood moves from right ventricle of the heart to the lungs back to the left atrium.
How does the heart interrelate with the lungs?
Both organs work together when we inhale and exhale. The heart pumps blood into the lungs, this is where the blood is oxygenated. This oxygenated blood then returns to the heart and is circulated around the rest of the body.
Where does oxygenated blood enter the heart?
Through the inferior and superior vena cavaThe left atria of the heart is where oxygenated blood enters, it is then pumped to the left ventricle and then to the rest of the body thru the systematic circuit. The heart is separated by the septum, which separates oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Which chamber returns blood from the lungs?
Blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins and it enters into the left atra.
Blood from the lungs enters the heart at what side?
When blood leaves the lungs through the pulmonary veins, it returns to the heart and enters the left ventricle.
Do your lungs have any muscles attached to them?
The lungs are attached to the heart. The heart carries deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery to be converted to oxygenated blood in the lungs. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
What is the upper part of the heart?
The heart is divided into four compartments. The two upper portions where blood enters the heart from the body and lungs are the atria. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, and oxygenated blood from the lungs enter the left atrium.
