The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. It begins at the top of the left ventricle and travels upwards before splitting into smaller arteries.


The movement of oxygenated blood into the systemic system begins from?

just follow this sequence: inferior/superior vena cava (DEOXYGENATED BLOOD) --> right atrium--> passes through tricuspid valve--> right ventricle--> pulmonary artery--> lungs (OXYGENATED BLOOD)--> pulmonary veins--> left atrium--> passes through bicuspid valve--> left ventricle--> aorta--> different parts of the body. it would be much easier if you have a picture of the heart with you. then just go with the flow. you can actually begin anywhere because it's just a cycle but most books would normally start with the one I've given above.

What is the right PAV in the coronary arteries of the heart?

''Distal right coronary artery continuation segment (R PAV): The terminal portion of the right coronary artery in a right dominant circulation. This segment lies in or near the atrioventricular (AV) groove and gives rise to a variable number of right posterolateral segments. This segment is the terminal portion of the right coronary artery and begins at the bifurcation of the distal RCA and PDA and gives rise to the AV nodal artery as well.


What path does a red blood cell take?

In the heart, the left ventricle contracts, pushing red blood cells into the aorta, the body's largest artery. From here, blood moves through a series of increasingly smaller arteries, until it reaches a capillary, the junction between arteries and veins. Here oxygen molecules detach from the red blood cells and slip across the capillary wall into body tissue. Now de-oxygenated, blood begins its return to the heart. It passes through increasingly larger veins to eventually reach the right atrium. It enters the right ventricle, which pumps it through the pulmonary arteries into the lungs, to pick up more oxygen. Oxygenated, blood reenters the left atrium, moves into the left ventricle, and the blood's journey begins again.
