The pulmonary circuit is powered by the right side of the heart. Its main function is to pump deoxygenated blood which has returned to the heart from the body to the lungs, then back to the heart. The blood is pumped from the heart via the pulmonary artery. The blood is then oxygenated by gas exchange between the alveoli in the lungs and the pulmonary capillaries. The newly oxygenated blood is then returned to the heart by the pulmonary veins, ready to be sent round the body.

∙ 12y agoThe pulmonary circuit is the circuit of blood vessels that carry blood from the heart into the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide and back to the heart. Oxygenated blood is then pumped throughout the body, distributing oxygen and collection carbon dioxide, then returns to the heart at the start of the pulmonary circuit.
This is a very simplistic description of how the heart works - there are actually 4 chambers, not two, and lots of valves, muscles, etc. I'm just keeping things simple for clarity.

Which blood circuit is associated with the right side of the heart?
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
What is the name of the circuit that connects the heart to all the body parts?
The systemic circulation connects the heart to all body parts. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
What makes up the pulmonary circuit?
The circulation of venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and back to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the step your step blood flow through the heart?
* Vena Cava * Right atrium * tricuspid valve * right ventricle * pulmonary valve * pulmonary artery * pulmonary circuit * pulmonary vein * left atrium * mitral (bicuspid) valve * left ventricle * aortic valve * aorta * systemic circuit
What is the large vessel that brings blood to the heart?
From the systemic circuit (superior/ inferior vena cava) or the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary vein)?
What are the components of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit?
The components of the pulmonary circuit include the right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary capillaries, and pulmonary veins. This circuit carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The components of the systemic circuit include the left ventricle, aorta, systemic arteries, systemic capillaries, and systemic veins. This circuit carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Which circuit obtains both Heart and the Lungs?
The Pulmonary Circulaiton
What is pulmunary circuit?
Pulmonary circulation is when the right ventricle contracts sending blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs to get oxygenated, then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.
What is the name of the circuit that connects the heart to all parts of the body except the lungs?
The systemic circuit connects the heart to all parts of the body. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
Which blood circuit is associated with the right side of the heart?
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
What is the name of the circuit that connects the heart to all the body parts?
The systemic circulation connects the heart to all body parts. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
Which of the pathway includes the heart lungs and the arteries and vein between them?
The pulmonary circuit.
Which blood circut is associated with the left side of the heart?
The Pulmonary Blood Circuit
What makes up the pulmonary circuit?
The circulation of venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and back to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the step your step blood flow through the heart?
