What is the flow of blood between the heart and lungs called?
The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called the pulmonary circulation.The blood flowing from the heart to the lungs would be deoxygenated and blood flowing towards the heart from the lungs would be oxygenated.
Does blood flow from the pulmonary arteries leads to the lungs?
The pulmonary artery sends blood from the heart to the lungs, while the pulmonary vein sends blood from the lungs back into the heart. So yes, pulmonary circulation flows blood through the lungs
Does the blood from the head flow to the lungs first before flowing to the heart?
No. Blood from the head returns to the right side of the heart and is then pumped ino the lungs. The blood from the head returns to the heart and is then sent to the lungs. If it went to the lungs before returning to the heart, that would be wasteful becase then it would have gone through the lungs twice before going to where it was needed.
When oxgenated blood comes into the heart which chamber does it fill?

What does pulmonary valve do?
The word "pulmonary" refers to the lungs, so the pulmonary vein is a blood vessel that runs from the lungs to the heart. It carries oxygenated blood, which is unusual for veins, which (apart from this one) transport de-oxygenated blood to the heart. The pulmonary artery does the opposite: unlike other arteries, it carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

by blood vessels
What are the three major circuits of blood flow?
Pulmonary circulation (between the heart and lungs) Systematic circulation (between the heart and the rest of the body) Coronary circulation (the heart's own blood supply/supply to cardiac tissue)
What direction does blood flow from the pulmonary veins?
toward the heart from the lungs

What are the three major circuits of the blood?
Systemic circuit- blood flow in the body Coronary circuit- blood flow in the heart Pulmonary circuit - blood flow in the lungs
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?
Pulmonary pertains to the Lungs. Cardiac pertains to the Heart.
Does blood flow from the pulmonary arteries leads to the lungs?
The pulmonary artery sends blood from the heart to the lungs, while the pulmonary vein sends blood from the lungs back into the heart. So yes, pulmonary circulation flows blood through the lungs
Does deoxygenated blood flow?
the heart is a double pump The heart pumps deoxigenated blood from the body through the heart and then through the lungs the back to the heart.
What is pulomanary?
It is a vessel connectthat connects the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary artery takes blood from the heart to the lungs and the pulmonary vein takes blood from the lungs to the heart. The pulmonary vessels are the only blood vessels in the body after birth that have reversed blood flow. The pulmonary arteries actually carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
What is the answer to the flow of blood from the heart to other organs and tissues of the body except the heart and lungs?
