When blood that is rich in oxygen re enters the heart, the blood enters through the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve brings the oxygen rich blood to the pulmonary trunk of the pulmonary artery.

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.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the blood?
As blood passes through lungs, there is exchange of oxygen and carbon bi oxide, from high concentration to low concentration and oxygen enters the blood from air to blood to make it oxygen rich.
What two components in the Circulatory System have oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood respectively?
The right atrium and ventricle of the heart, as well as veins, contain oxygen-poor blood. The left atrium and ventricle, as well as the arteries, contain oxygen-rich blood. One exception to this is the pulmonary vein and artery, which are reversed - pulmonary artery contains oxygen-poor blood and pulmonary vein contains oxygen-rich blood.
Name the vessel that conveys oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle?
The vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery.
Blood flows from the left atrium to where?
The blood enters the left atrium through the pulmonary artery as it is has just come from being oxygenated in the lungs and is now ready to transport that oxygen around the body via the aorta and the arteries for use in respiration.
What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.
What is the site where oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs and enters the?
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 is the pattern of blood flow away from the heart?
When blood enters the pulmonary valve of the heart it flows away from it and enters the lungs. As a result, oxygen is picked up by the lings and transferred back through the pulmonary valve to the heart.
What is the only vein in the body that carries oxygen-poor blood?
Mostly, but not entirely. Oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and enters the heart via the pulmonary veins.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?
The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
Where is the place oxygen enters the blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
What does a pulmonary artery carry that a pulmonary vein doesn't?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
How does the circulatory system distribute the oxygen to the rest of the body?
Oxygen deprived blood from the vena cava enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle where it is pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries which go to the lungs. Pulmonary veins return the now oxygen-rich blood to the heart, where it enters the left atrium before flowing through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. Also, from the left ventricle the oxygen-rich blood is pumped out via the aorta, and on to the rest of the body.
What is the path that oxygen poor blood takes through the heart?
Oxygen-poor, or deoxyginated blood starts in the right atrium, goes through the right atrioventricular valve and enters the right ventricle. It then goes through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk. It then goes through pulmonary arteries to the lungs, enters the capillaries in the lungs to pick up oxygen, then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins and into the left atrium. This is the path of de-oxygenated blood
What happens to the blood during pulmonary circulation?
When blood enters the pulmonary arteries, it is sent into the lungs' capillaries. Capillaries are only about one cell thick, so oxygen in the aveoli is able to diffuse into the bloodstream. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which has a high affinity for oxygen. Oxygen binds to the red blood cells and is delivered to cells in need of oxygen. In addition, the blood enters the lungs in the alveoli area and it releases CO2. After it releases the CO2, the erythrocytes in the blood bond with oxygens. The blood is then carried back to the heart.
