The right side is the pulmonary circuit.

(The left side is the systemic 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.


Which side of the heart collects blood from the lungs and pumps it through the body And which circuit is this?

The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs


What chamber of the heart receives venous blood from the systemic circuit?

After it makes its circuit throughout the body, blood must return to the heart. the veins carry the blood back toward the heart via the superior and inferior vena cava. The vena cava empty into the right atrium of the heart to begin the cycle again.


What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?

The pulmonary circuit is blood flow movements from the pulmonary trunk to the left atrium...while the systemic circuit is a continuation from the left atrium all the way to the right atrium.......... Disclaimer [research for detailed blood movements in pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit if this isn't enough].


What are the components of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit?

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.


What is the circuit called that blood travels through from the heart from right atrium to left ventricle?

Where does the heart muscle get its own blood supply?

The heart is supplied with blood from the superior vena cava (the large vein that flows to the right atrium). This vein carries blood from the systemic circuit (from the body) to the heart so that blood may be oxygenated and recirculated.


Which structures of the heart are most closely associated with the transport of deoxygenated blood?

The structures of the heart most closely associated with the transport of deoxygenated blood are the right atrium and the right ventricle. Deoxygenated blood from the body returns to the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cavae, then flows into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries for oxygenation.


What is the blood flow of the pulmonary circuit it reoxygenate blood?

Blood flows from the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. From there it flows to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium and ventricle, then to the aorta.


Where does the pulmonary circuit carry blood to?

The left and right pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood back to the left atrium of the heart


Where does the systemic circuit end?

The systemic circuit ends at the vena cava, the largest vein in the body, which carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium of the heart.


What is pulmonary circuit of the heart?

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.
