Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenatedblood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart :)
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between the pulmanary vein and the pulmanary artery?
For the most part, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry de-oxygenated blood. This is opposite in the pulmonary veins and arteries because they are going to and from the lungs to get oxygen.
What valves carry oxygen rich blood to the heart?
the pulmonary vein brings the oxygenated blood into the heart from the lungs
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
Which structure(s) carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart?
The right ventricle pumps O2 poor blood into the lungs. The ventricular pressure has to be greater than that of the pulmonary artery to open the pulmonary valve and push the blood to the lungs.
What is the most important vein?
The pulmonary vein is the most important vein found in the heart because it brings oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium.
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.
Where is the blood with the highest oxygen concentration?
pulmonary vein or lungs
Where does the pulmonary vein distribute blood to?
The pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the right atrium. This blood is oxygen-rich.
Which is the only vein in the body to carry oxygenated blood?
The PULMONARY vein. Pulmonary = lungs. Vein = ALWAYS carries blood TO the heart.
What are the functions of the pulmary vein?
Pulmonary Vein pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenatedANS2:The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. The blood returns from the lungs to the heart to be pumped to the body.
Which one vein do not carry blood with little oxygen to the heart?
The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
What vessel returns oxygen rich blood to the left ventricle from the lungs?
pulmonary vein
What blood vessel carries oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs?
pulmonary vein
What veil does oxygen blood come in and out?
Oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary vein. This vein transports blood from the lungs to the heart.
Highest oxygen concentration is found in the blood of the?
pulmonary vein, as it carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart to be distributed to the body tissues.
What carries the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs?
The Pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the heart. Also this means the Pulmonary Artery is the only artery in the body which carries deoxygenated blood, and the Pulmonary Vein is the only vein in the body which carries oxygenated blood.
What is the blood vessel that carries oxgen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart?
The pulmonary veins are high in oxygen and carry blood to the heart. The heart will then pump it to the rest of the body.
