Aortic Semilunar Valve
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.
* 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
The aorta receives blood from the Aortic Valve. The Aortic Valve gets blood from the left ventricle.
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
The systemic - as the blood flow that travels through the mitral valve is the oxygenated blood meant for the tissues in the body.
The systemic circuit that supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissues.
The systemic circuit because not as much blood is able to enter it
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.
* 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
In the systemic circuit, oxygenated blood is distributed to body tissues.The systemic circuit also distributes nutrients to the body tissues and removes waste.
Pyloric valve
systemic circuit
The blood pressure is the highest in the arteries. It will decrease continuously as it flows through the systemic circuit.
The aorta receives blood from the Aortic Valve. The Aortic Valve gets blood from the left ventricle.
Aorta
Pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit.
One drop of blood starts in the right atrium -> tricuspid valve-> Rt ventricle -> pulmonary valve -> Pulmonary artery -> lungs where oxygen is picked up and carbon dioxide is dropped off -> Pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> bicuspid valve -> left ventricle -> Aortic valve -> Aorta and then out to the body tissues and systemic circulation. This circuit is called the pulmonary circuit.
