What is the blood like in pulmonary and bronchial circulations?
Bjwilbur
I thought my husband had COPD but have recently learned it is pulmonary fibrosis. What is the difference. Is there any hope for patients with this disease. What about apple cider vinegar - could this be helpful?

What is the function of pulmonary vain?
The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart so that it may be circulated all over the body. Anything "pulmonary" has to do with the lungs, like the pulmonary arteries bring de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that it may travel to the aveolis and become oxygenated.
When blood travels through the triscupid valve. Where does it go next?
Blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. It then goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated, then back to the heart via the pulmonary vein. From the left atrium it goes down through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle, then it's off to the body again via the aorta (the 'almighty artery' as I like to call it lol).
What two heart chambers contract last in a normal cardiac cycle?
FIRST: Atrial contractions: - Right atrium forces the blood into the Right ventricle (through the tricuspid valve) - Left atrium forces the blood into the Left ventricle (through the the Mitral (or Bicuspid valve) FOLLOWED BY: Ventrical conctractions: - Right ventricle forces the blood into the Pulmonary trunk (through the Pulmonary semilunar valve) - Left ventricle forces the blood into the Aorta (through the Aortic semilunar valve). Contractions in both atrium happen simultaniously, just like contractions in both ventricles. More info can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart
What pumps blood toward the lungs where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen?
Oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it through the walls of the capillaries which surround the alveoli in the lungs. It's not really correct to use terms like 'pump' and 'collect', as this is a simple process of diffusion.
Average size of sheep heart?
Blood flow of a sheep's heart is from the right atrium into the right ventricle. Next it goes to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Lastly, oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium it goes to the left ventricle and then out to the body via the aorta.
Your lungs hurt is that pneumonia?
It depends on how hurt you are. Bronchial pneumonia or pulmonary pneumonia can hurt you a lot. But there are other things like bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and tuberculosis. You have to consult your doctor.
Which characteristics describes the blood carried by the pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. Like all veins the blood in the pulmonary veins travel toward the heart.
Is big blood cells a problem?

The pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries are colored blue in all of the figures Why are they colored blue like most veins?
Because they carry veinous blood.

Why a rat have pulmonary circuit?
They have lungs like humans so they have the same sort of blood vessels we do.
How does the pulmonary circulation work in your body?
Much like the systemic circulation, but at a lower pressure: Blood flows from the right ventricle through pulmonary artery to lungs where the gases are exchanged to pulmonary vein to left atria.
What is special about the pulmonary artery?
The pulmonary artery goes away from the heart, so does not actually do anything for the heart. However, once blood enters the heart via the venae cavae (the veins that bring the body's entire blood supply into the heart) it then travels through the right atrium to the right ventricle, through yes!, the pulmonary artery (pulmonary means pertaining to the lungs) . From there the blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary artery and branches into capillaries, where the exchange of carbon dioxide to oxygen occurs. The blood then travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein, the exception to the rule that veins are oxygen-poor. From there the blood enters the left atrium, is pumped into the left ventricle, and from there is pushed into the aorta where it travels to supply the entire body with the now-oxygenated blood. So, that is the relationship the pulmonary artery has with the heart. The cornonary arteries, which feed off of the aorta, are what supply the heart itself with blood. Just in case that's what you were looking for by asking this question. Hope that answers your question!!!!!
The right side of the heart pumps low-oxygen blood to the?
The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?
The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
Why are the pulmonary trunk and arteries colored blue like most veins?
Because both are carrying blood without oxygen.
What carries oxygen poor blood to the lungs from the heart?
Think about it logically. The lungs are the organ designed to allow transfer of oxygen from the air into the blood and CO2 from the blood back into the air. Delivering blood that already contains oxygen to this organ would therefore be a complete waste of time as more oxygen will not be able to get into the system. So it must be oxygen poor blood that goes to the lungs, where is takes up oxygen ready to go around delivering it to the rest of the organs. And indeed oxygen poor blood is the answer to your question. However things are never as simple as that are they. Only the cells of the alveoli get enough oxygen from the air irectly to survive. The bronchi nad bronchioles are too many cells thick for simple diffusion of oxygen from the air to sustain them. This means that like the rest of the body the cells in these part must reciece and oxygenated blood supply, which comes from the systemic circulation (ie not the pulmonary circulation) from the left side of he heart. The arteries that carries the oxygenated blood to these parts of the lungs are called the bronchial arteries. Their are bronchial veins that help to drain this blood, once is has been deoxygenated, back into the systemic circulation but interestingly the majority is drained by the pulmonary veins (which carry the oxygenated blood back from the alveoli). This causes a slight impurity in the oxygenated blood that is taken back to the left ventricle of the heart to be pumped around the body.
