What else can I help you with?
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 happens when the ventricle contracts?
Heart pumps out blood into major vessels(aorta,pulmonary arteries)
Which vessels carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart?
Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle.
Name the large vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart?
Pulmonary trunk which divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries
What blood vessel do large vessels that carry blood away from the heart?
the aorta from the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle. that's it.
Which artery sends the blood to the lungs?
The Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What structure of the heart is the source of blood circulating in the pulmonary arteries?
The right ventricle
To what structures do the pulmonary arteries lead?
The right ventricle.
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 rule are the pulmonary arteries an exception to?
Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood. But the pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle, carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs. They follow the rule of "arteries leave the heart" rather than the more specific rule "arteries leave the left ventricle."
What happens when the ventricle contracts?
Heart pumps out blood into major vessels(aorta,pulmonary arteries)
What set of chambers supplies blood to pulmonary circulation?
The right ventricle of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary circulation through the pulmonary arteries. Once in the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide before returning to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
Which vessels carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart?
Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle.
What does the semilunar valves prevent back flow into?
The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles of the heart. They close to ensure that blood flows in one direction only, from the ventricles to the arteries (pulmonary artery and aorta).
Where does the right atrium go after going to the right ventricle?
It goes into the pulmonary arteries. Then on to the lungs. Then into the pulmonary veins. Left atrium then ventricle. Then aorta and its 3 major branching arteries. Then to the abdominal aorta. All turn into veins which lead back to the heart.
Name the large vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart?
Pulmonary trunk which divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries
What vessels carries blood the lungs to the lungs to the heart?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
