The circulation of venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and back to the left atrium of the heart.
yes
no
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
There is more blood in the systemic circuit than the pulmonary circuit. Even the arterial portion of the systemic circuit is larger than the entire pulmonary circuit, because the pulmonary circuit only delivers blood to the lungs, and the systemic circuit supplies the rest of the body.
Pulmonary circuit
Blood entering the pulmonary circuit is deoxygenated. Blood leaving the pulmonary circuit is oxygenated.
No, the aorta is part of the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the pulmonary artery and vein.
Yes
The main parts of the pulmonary circulation are the pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, and the vessels in the lungs. This circuit contains blood on its way to and back from the lungs.
The pulmonary circuit is the movement of oxygen depleted blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide.
yes
No, the pulmonary circuit contains less blood than the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit sends deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while the systemic circuit delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body's tissues.
The pulmonary cicuit carries blood to the lungs.
From the systemic circuit (superior/ inferior vena cava) or the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary vein)?
The heart is responsible for pumping the blood to every cell in the body. It is also responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on oxygen. The heart is able to pump blood to both regions efficiently because there are really two separate circulatory circuits with the heart as the common link. Some authors even refer to the heart as two separate hearts, a right heart in the pulmonary circuit and left heart in the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary arteries, goes to the lungs, and returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
The pulmonary circuit is the part of the circulatory system responsible for carrying blood from the heart to the lungs and back. It carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation and then returns oxygenated blood back to the heart to be circulated to the rest of the body.
