When blood within the pulmonary capillary network is oxygenated it travels to the heart via which structure?

It comes back through the pulmonary veins. Veins always carry blood TO the heart. This is the only case where veins are high in oxygen.

What is a pulmonary arteriole?
a small artery that leads to a capillary network
What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
What is the smallest filtration screen?
capillary network
Outline the path that blood follows in pulmonary circulation?
The blood leaves the right side of the heart via the atrioventricular valve then onto the pulmonary artery where it enters the capillary network around the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs where the red blood cells that carry oxygen are in close contact with the oxygen in the air. Here they offload carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, before returning to the left atria to be pumped into the left ventricle and on to the rest of the body.
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus
How does the respiratory system work together as a community?
First we breathe in through our nasal/oral cavity. The air travels through our pharynx, then to our layrnx (AKA voice box) then to our trachea, bronchus, bronchioles then to the aveolus (more than one aveoli) This is the LUNGThe individual aveoli's have capillary networks on them which are one cell thick calledepithelial cells. Gas exchange occurs here. The air we breathe in needs to be filtered first (which were filtered earlier by our nasal cavity, trachea, bronchus and bronchioles) then they are moistened slightly by our nasal cavity and the aveoli's that have a very thin layer of water surrounding the interior of the aveoli.Once the air is filtered it diffuses through the membrane of the aveoli's and the capillaries.Since diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration, Carbon dioxide diffuses into the aveoli and the Oxygen diffuses into the capillary which attaches to the red blood cells. Now called Oxygenated Blood.The oxygenated blood from the capillary network travels into the Pulmonary Vein. (keep in mind that VEIN's bring blood into heart, this is an exception where the Pulmonary Vein, carries oxygenated blood from lungs to heart)So as mentioned before the Oxygenated blood from the lungs travel into the Pulmonary Veins which lead into the left atrium of the heart. As the heart beats (AKA contraction of muscle) the oxygenated blood from left atrium travels to the left ventricle to the AORTA, out into the major arteries, and the arteriolesNOTE: words that end in -ioles/-ules are "smaller than"Veins. Venules - Smaller veinsAnd so this is the respiratory system working as a community(SORRY IF IT'S UNCLEAR, I DID MY BEST TO EXPLAIN)
What are 3 types of blood vessels?
The three types of blood vessels are:1. Arteries2. Veins3. Capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues)They are:(1) Arteries - These are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They generally carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.(2) Veins - These are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. They generally carry de oxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.(3) Capillaries - They generally form a capillary network through which substances are exchanged between the blood and tissues. Capillaries carry blood from arterioles (branches of artery) to venoules (branches of vein).
What is the function of the capillary network in the lungs?
the four or more functions of the capillery network in the skin?
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
Which is a renal disease in which substances from the immune response to the streptococcus bacterium collect in the capillary network of the nephron?
renal disease in which substances from the immune response to the streptococcus bacterium collect in the capillary network of the nephron
What is granulation tissue composed of?
clotted blood, fibroblasts, & extensive capillary network
Which blood vessel will supply blood to blood vessel cells?
The Aorta is the main artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the body. The Aorta branches off into smaller arteries throughout the body which supply blood to the bodies cells. These vessels change over to veins which return the blood to the heart. With the exception of the Pulmonary artery which carries low oxygenated blood from the heart.
