oxygen-poor blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. gas exchange occurs in the lungs and the oxygenated blood is then returned to the left side of the heart through pulmonary veins

How would you define pulmonary circulation?

pulmonary circulation the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen, and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.


What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?

Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart, while pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while pulmonary circulation is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide.


What is the systemic circulation from pulmonary circulation?

Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body and returns oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. Pulmonary circulation, on the other hand, is the circulation of blood between the heart and lungs, where blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Systemic circulation follows pulmonary circulation in the blood flow cycle.


Is pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?

Yes.


Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood through the lungs?

Pulmonary pertains to the Lungs. Cardiac pertains to the Heart.


How is oxygen depleted blood carried to the lungs?

This is through the Pulmonary Circulation.


Describe the path blood follows through the systematic circulation loop?

In the systemic circulation, blood leave the left atrium, passes through the bicuspid valve, and enters the left ventricle. From there it is pumped to the aorta and to progressively smaller arteries. Materials diffuse at the capillaries, and blood returns to the heart via progressively larger veins to the vena cava. When the vena cava carries blood to the right atrium, the blood is entering the pulmonary circulation loop.


In pulmonary circulation blood flows through which two organs?

heart and lungs


What ventricle is responsible for blood flow through the pulmonary circulation?

right ventricle


What circulation from the heart to all parts of the body back to the heart?

Systemic circulation. Compared with pulmonary circulation which is from the heart through the lungs and back to the heart.


What is the circulation from the heart to all parts of the body back to the heart?
