What happens after blood travels through the pulmonary semilunar valve?
It goes through the pulmonary artery, to the lung. Becomes oxygenated, and goes to the left atrium. It is pumped through the Mitral valve, into the Left Ventricle. Left Ventricle pumps it through the aortic valve to the aorta.
Which part of the heart will contract in order to pump blood to lungs?
Right Ventricle. The blood movement pattern is: Right Atrium-> Tricuspid Valve -> Right Ventricle -> Pulmonic Valve -> Pulmonary Artery-> Lung -> Pulmonary Vein -> Left Atrium -> Bicuspid Valve -> Left Ventricle -> Aortic Valve -> Aorta
How many lobes does the left lung have?
After the mainstem bronchus, two secondary bronchi supply the left lung (and three supply the right lung).
Is the right or left lung larger?
The right lung is larger than left lung The left lung is made up of 2 lobes while right is made up of 3 lobes.
Which lung has the cardiac notch?
left lung has a cardiac notch.
Which arteries deliver blood to the left ventricle?
Blood is not delivered to the left ventricle via an artery. It is first delivered to the left auricle/atrium by the left pulmonary veins from the left lung. It passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. Then its pumped out to the aorta.
Which lung is smaller youror left and why?
The left is smaller, due to the presence of cardiac notch
What is a function of the cardiac notch?
so that we can differentiate the right lung and left lung. the lung with the cardiac notch is the left lung as the heart is on the left side of the body.
Does the right lung have more lung capacity than the left lung?
First it's larger, second the left lung is sharing space with your heart..
Why is your lung collapsed when you get a knife wound to left side of thorax?
the left lung is located in the left thorax
