What is pulmonary infarction?
A Pulmonary Infarction is the death of a small area of lung resulting from pulmonary embolism. It occurs in a small, dead-end pulmonary artery and often causes pain in the back or chest.PI is an an infrequent consequence of Pulmonary Edema(< 10% of cases). It is sometimes due to thrombosis in situ of the pulmonary arteries as might occur in congenital heart disease associated with severe pulmonary hypertension or in hematologic disorders (eg, sickle cell anemia).
What does the semilunar valves prevent back flow into?
ventricles from the pulmonary trunk and aorta
What is the pulmonary semi lunar valve?
The semi lunar valves control the flow of blood coming back into the Right Atrium.
What are the components of double circulation?
Component??? If organ: heart and lung if blood vessels: artery(vena cava, arterioles), vein(aorta, venules), pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein
What would happen if the pulmonary artery was to be cut and bleed?
The pulmonary artery is the one which carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. It is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The blood is carried at a pressure, usually less than 30mmHg. So, if the pulmonary artery was to be cut and bleed, the person would die when blood volume fell below the minimum necessary. This wouldn't take long, either. Between actual blood loss, and the sudden decrease in pressure such an injury would cause death in approximately 2 minutes
What is the connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta called?
ductus arteriosus
What is the connection of aorta to alveoli?
pulmonary artery
What are two structural differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
one is vein one is artery
What is the similarity between pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery?
They are both connected to the heart.
Are there valves in the pulmonary artery or the aorta.?
There are not valves in the pulmonary artery or the aorta. However there are valves between these and the heart. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery there is a valve referred to as the pulmonary semilunar valve. Between the left ventricle and the aorta there is a valve called the aortic semilunar valve.
What the differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary artery takes blood from the right ventricle into the lungs; the pulmonary vein collects blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.
What is the main artery that carries blood to your lungs?
The pulmonary artery is the main artery that carries blood to your lungs.
What is the purpose of the Pulmonary valve?
The pulmonary valve is the tricuspid valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. It prevents blood from flowing down the artery back into the right ventricle.
What is the artery leading into the lungs called?
The blood vessels that take oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs are the pulmonary artery. It is part of the pulmonary circulation.
What are the three differences between the composition of blood in pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
Pulmonary artery 1. No oxygen 2. A lot of carbon dioxide Pulmonary vein 1. Lots of oxygen 2. No carbon dioxide
Why pulmonary is an artery rather than vein?
in our body there are both, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein
Is the pulmonary artery not a branch of the aorta?
