What else can I help you with?
What valve exits the right ventricle?
The pulmonary or pulmonic valve (a semilunar valve) controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the "pulmonary trunk" that branches into the two pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
What is the name of the vein that carries blood from the lungs to the heart?
Artery - always carries blood FROM the heart Vein - always carries blood TO the heart The vein which brings blood to the heart from the lungs is the PULMONARY VEIN ('pulmonary' = lungs). The one carrying blood away from the heart to the lungs is the pulmonary artery. Easy.
Blood vessel carrying oxygen rich blood?
Arteries (except the pulmonary artery) and one vein the pulmonary vein.
What is the artery leading into the lungs called?
The blood vessels that take oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs are the pulmonary artery. It is part of the pulmonary circulation.
Why pulmonary is an artery rather than vein?
in our body there are both, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein
Is the pulmonary artery not a branch of the aorta?
The pulmonary artery is not part of the aorta.
Which vessels carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart?
Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle.
What is the only artery carrying blood rich in oxygen?
Pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries non-oxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood.
Why the pulmonary veins carrying the oxygenated blood and not the pulmonary artery?
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
Which artery sends the blood to the lungs?
The Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What is the artery and vein that takes blood to and from the lungs?
The pulmonary trunk carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart, then splits into the left and right pulmonary arteries. Answer: pulmonary trunk/left and right pulmonary arteries
