Where does oxygen poor blood go from the heart?

Oxygen-poor blood leaves the heart via the pulmonary artery and is transported to the lungs for oxygenation. Once it picks up oxygen in the lungs, it returns to the heart through the pulmonary vein to be pumped out to the rest of the body.


Where does the blood go after it leaves the pulmonary vein?

Remember veins back to the heart. This goes into the heart to deliver oxygen.


Does blood flow have to go through the pulmonary vein before it goes back to the heart?

Yes. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart. Once it passes through the bicuspid valve, the left atrium will then pump the blood through the rest of your body.


Where does blood from the left side of the heart go?

Blood returns from the lungs after collecting oxygen, via the Pulmonary Vein to the Left Atrium. Then is pushed through to the Left Ventricle where it is pumped around the body with its fresh supply of oxygen leaving the heart via the Aorta. Hope this helps.


Why the blood vessel that carrying oxygenated blood from lungs is a vein while the the other vessels carrying oxygenated blood are arteries?

It differs in pulmonary arteries and veins because they do the opposite thing to normal arteries and veins. Arteries usually carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body but pulmonary means lungs and the pulmonary artery carries de-oxygenated blood away from the heart but to the lungs and not round the body. Veins usually carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart but the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart which then pumps it into the aorta which takes it to the body. bla bla bla


What vessels transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium?

The pulmonary vein. Veins go to the heart, arteries come out. Even though the blood is oxygenated, it still travels through a vein to get to the heart. I'll leave it to you to figure out the pulmonary artery.


Where does blood from the right atrium go to in the right side of the heart and then to what artery?

right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta


What vessel carries oxygen-rich blood to the lungs?

the right ventricle, ( just to make sure you know, the rights and lefts of the heart are opposites) pumps blood through a valve, and up to the pulmonary vein where it travels to the lungs to be oxygenated by the alveoli, and brought back through the pulmonary artery to were the left atrium and ventricle pump the blood to the aorta, where then is distributed to the brain muscles and body


What is the pathway of blood from the right hand to the lungs?

if you go from your thumb (radial vein) if you go from your pinky ( ulnar vein) then brachial vein subclavian vein superior vena cava right atrium tricuspid valve right ventricle semilunar valve pulmonary artery lungs FROM THE LUNGS BACK TO THE LEFT HAND: pulmonary vein left atrium bicuspid valve left ventricle semilunar valve aorta subclavian artery brachial artery radial artery ( for thumb) Ulnar artery (for pinky)


What blood does pulmonary vein carry?

Oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. This is unusual as almost all veins carry deoxygenated blood.


What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?

Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart, while pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while pulmonary circulation is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide.


How do you trace the path from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery?

From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lungs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom
