Here we go!

[First, the pulmonary circuit.]

R atrium; R ventricle; pulmonary artery (L or R); arteriole; capillary adjacent to an alveolus of lung; venule; pulmonary vein

[Now the blood returns to the heart for the systemic (body) circuit.]

L atrium; L ventricle; aorta; R iliac artery; arteriole; capillary in a toe of the R foot; venule; R femoral vein; vena cava; back to the R atrium

How can you trace a drop of blood from the left anterior tibial vein to the right radial artery?

The left anterior tibial vein drains into the veins leading into the inferior vena cava, which empties in the right atrium. The right atrium pumps into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps this deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk which splits into two branches left and right which transport the doexygenated blood on to vasculature in the lungs. This circuit essentially turns around in the alveolar capillaries where gas exchange occurs, oxygenating this blood and turning it from blue to red. This blood drains into a return system, draining this oxygenated blood from capillary to venule to vein, gathering in the right and left pulmonary vein. (vein doesn't always mean blue blood. Vein means that it is returning to the heart and artery means leaving the heart. In the body system this means that arteries are red and veins are blue, but in the pulmonary circuit, it's the opposite with regard to color. Don't rely on blood color to remember this, rely on direction of transport to and from the heart). The blood enters the left atrium through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle which pumps through the aortic valve into the aorta which feeds the systemic circuit. Off of the aorta there are many branches leading to areas of the body such as the head, upper torso, legs, etc. One of these branches, the brachiocephalic trunk, will split into two branches. The one on the thumb side of the forearm is the right radial artery.


What number of red blood cells per drop of blood?

Depends on how big the drop of blood is that you are talking about? 1 microliter (ul = 1 millions of a liter) of normal blood has about 3 million red cells and an average size drop is about 50 ul so one avergae size drop of normal blood has about 150 million red blood cells....................u are a ritard it is 50 billion ur mums


What blood cells are found in a drop of blood.?

In a normal drop of blood you will find red blood cells, white blood cells: Neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and platelets (not cells, but parts of megakaryocytes - cells formed in the bone marrow).

How does blood flow through the body?

blood (red blood cells) filled with wastes like carbon dioxide enters the inferior vena cava(lower body) or the superior vena cava (upper body) in the heart and goes to the right atrium and goes to the right right ventricle though the tricuspid valve. from there the blood goes to left and right lungs to drop off the carbon dioxide for the organism to exhale and picks up oxygen through the pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery and returns back to the heart through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium. from there in goes to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. oxygen rich blood flows through the aortic valve to the aorta to go to the rest of the body. from there oxygen rich blood flows through arteries until it gets to a place like the big toe. capillaries connect arteries to veins. capillaries take the oxygen from the blood cells and puts carbon dioxide and other wastes in them. next, the blood goes to the veins back to the heart and goes through the inferior vena cava and the cycle start all over again until blood cells travel to the liver 120 days after they are made in large bones like the femur(thigh bone).


How does changing the drop height effect the splatter of blood?

Increasing the drop height typically results in larger blood droplets and a greater dispersion of blood upon impact, creating a wider and more pronounced splatter pattern. Conversely, decreasing the drop height usually leads to smaller blood droplets and a more concentrated, tighter splatter pattern. The angle and surface of impact can also influence the resulting blood spatter characteristics.

What is the circuit called from the time a drop of blood is dropped in the right atrium to the time its dropped in the left atrium?

The vascular circuit that connects the right atrium to the left atrium is the pulmonary circulation.

Trace one drop of blood from the time it enters the right atrium until it enters the left atrium What is the circuit called?

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.


How can you trace a drop of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right radial artery?

Why would you want to do that. You would have to cut open the heart and watch the blood move from the pulmonary artery through the heart and into the right radial artery.


What path does a drop of blood follow from entering the heart to leaving the heart through the aorta?

From the vena cava, blood travels into the right atrium, then the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium. The blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle which pumps the blood through the aorta and to the rest of the body.


Follow a drop of blood from the right ankle to the left ankle?

Let's start from the heart. The blood drop goes out through the aorta, to other, smaller arteries. Arterioles. Capillaries. Venoules. Veins. Back to the heart (right atrium). From the right atrium, it goes to the right ventricle, to the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, into the pulmonary veins, which bring it to the left atrium of the heart. It then moves to the left ventricle, and out again through the aorta. Note that the drop of blood you started out with would not be the same drop you ended up with.


What are all the structures blood flows through from the small intestines to the right atrium?

How can you trace a drop of blood from the ascending aorta to the right tonsil?

Basically your superior and inferior viena cava carry the blood to the heart…then it goes to the right atrium…from there it goes thru the tricuspid valve and then to the right ventricle, from there it goes thru the pulmonary valve then into the pulmonary artery and into the lungs and then to the alveolar sacks where the blood gets oxygenated… then back to the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium then thru the mighty mitral valve then to the left ventricle… then thru the aortic valve to the aorta then to arterioles then to the systemic capillaries…ultimately it can end where ever u want it to… big toe, tonsil, etc…


What is the correct sequence in which a drop of blood returning from the body encounters the heart chambers?

First, the deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, then goes through the right ventricle. From there, it goes to the lungs, to become oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then goes through the left atrium and ventricle, before being pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body.


A drop on blood returning to the heart from the head region would enter the heart through which vessel?
