What is the function of the right pulmonary veins?
All veins carry blood to the heart, and pulmonary veins are specifically veins that carry oxygenated blood (oxygenated in the lungs) from the lungs to the heart. In other words, the left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the heart, and the right pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the right lung to the heart.
Why is the lung narrower that the right lung?
the left lung is narrower than the right lung because of the amount of space the mediastinum (which includes the heart, blood vessels and others) on the left side. the left lung includes a cardiac notch where the heart lies.
What is a pulmonary embolism?
A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lung. Clots that form elsewhere in the body can become lodged in the blood vessels leading from the right ventricle to the lungs.
What structure receives blood as it flows from the right ventricle?
The right ventricle will receive blood from the right atria. When the right ventricle then contracts blood will be pushed through the pulmonic valve and into the pulmonic artery. This artery then divides into left and right pulmonic artery. The left going to the left lung and the right artery to the right lung. This blood flow helps the oxygen in your lungs enter your blood to be delivered to all your tissues.
What vessel transports blood from lung to heart?
the right and left pulmonary veins
Rigt and left pulmonary artery function?

The blood that leaves the right side of the heart is passed into the pulmonary arteries. This blood is oxygenated in the lungs and passes through the pulmonary veins into the left side of the heart.
Is the right or left lung larger?
The right lung is larger than left lung The left lung is made up of 2 lobes while right is made up of 3 lobes.
How many lobes does the left lung have?
After the mainstem bronchus, two secondary bronchi supply the left lung (and three supply the right lung).
Where does the artery pump blood to?
The left and right pulmonary arteries carry blood from the pulmonary trunk to the hilum of the corresponding lung.
What is the function of the left pulmonary vein?
To return blood from the inferior lobe of the right lung to the left atrium Sierra Q
It pumps blood from the heart into the aorta?
