What is importance of pulmonary circulation?

Answer 1

Pulmonary circulation is blood supply to the lungs. This is important for two reasons. First, like all organs, the lungs have to have oxygen themselves in order to function. Second, blood has to go through the lungs in order to become oxygenated. The pulmonary vein is the only vein in the body that carries oxygenated blood. Systemic circulation is important for two reasons also. First, and simplest, is the fact that every cell in the body has to have oxygenated blood to function. Without oxygenated blood, the cells will begin to infarct, or die. Second, systemic circulation creates what's called perfusion pressure. Simply put, it's the pressure required to allow the organs to pull the oxygen from the blood. As blood pressure goes down, the body's ability to pull in oxygen from the blood also decreases.

Answer 2

in pulmonary circulation,blood flows frpm right ventricle to the lungs through pulmonary arteries ,to get oxygenated.and after that it comes to left atrium through pulmonary vein from the lungs.so in short,its importance is to make the blood oxygenated.

Answer 3

Pulmonary circulation flows between the heart and the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood. That freshly oxygenated blood returns to the heart and the systemic circulation will deliver that oxygen to the rest of the body tissues.

Answer 4

The pulmonary circuit moves blood through the lungs to drop off carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. The systemic circuit moves oxygenated blood to all the body tissues and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs.

Answer 5

Blood is pumped from the heart and it goes into two different directions. One goes to the body and carries blood rich in oxygen and nutrients. It picks up carbon dioxide and wastes from the cells and carries these back to the heart again. This forms a circle (circulation) through the body (systemic). The blood that came back needs to drop off the carbon dioxide at the lungs and pick up oxygen. This circulation is called the pulmonary circulation. These two happen at the same time and with the same beat of the heart.
