∙ 14y agoFrom the alveouls air follows this path:
Alveolar epithelium (Pneumocytes type I cells)
Alveolar basal lamina
Pulmonary capillaries basal lamina
Capillary epithelium (Endothelium)
Pulmonary veins
Left atrium
Bicuspid valve
Left ventricle
Aortic semilunar valve
Aorta
Body (depends on where oxygen goes)
IVC, SVC, coronary sinus, anterior cardiac veins
Right atrium

∙ 9y agoYes, blood flows from the heart to the lungs.
Blood flows from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, it comes back to the heart from the lungs through the pulmonary vein.

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?
Oxygenated blood returning from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
Why does blood flow from the lungs to the heart?
so that we can take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxideso we can breathe so we can live.
Flow of blood through the hears to the lungs?
The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called pulmonary circulation.
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.
How does the blood flow 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 is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to blood flow that occurs in the extremities as opposed to blood that flows to the brain, heart, lungs, and vital organs.
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
How the blood flows?
Blood flows through arteries (from the heart), veins (to the heart) and capillaries. The heart pumps oxygenated blood out of the aorta and it circulates throughout the body providing oxygen to the muscles and organs (both voluntary and involuntary). The deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through veins. Veins have valves to stop blood flowing in the wrong direction. So the blood returns to the heart though both the superior and inferior vena cava and is then carried to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated, carried back to the heart and again pumped out the aorta. All in all the heart makes blood flow. A blood flow is the blood pumped from the heart to all parts of body through arteries and flow back through veins. A blood flow can also be normal menstruation, or a uterus vaginal problem.
Trace the pathway of a drop of blood from the myocardium of the heart to the arm?
The myocardium does not have blood flow to the arm. The myocardium is the muscle of the heart and therefore only supplies blood 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
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?
Pulmonary pertains to the Lungs. Cardiac pertains to the Heart.
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.
