No, the aorta is part of the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the pulmonary artery and vein.
The pulmonary artery is not part of the aorta.
Both of them are arteries. Pulmonary artery supplies blood to lungs whereas Aorta supplies blood to all other parts of the body. Both of them are the outlets of the heart. Pulmonary artery is a part of pulmonary circulation while Aorta is a part of systemic circulation.
Blood flows from the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. From there it flows to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium and ventricle, then to the aorta.
Pulmonary circuit
Systemic via the aorta - pulmonary via the pulmonary artery.
* Vena Cava * Right atrium * tricuspid valve * right ventricle * pulmonary valve * pulmonary artery * pulmonary circuit * pulmonary vein * left atrium * mitral (bicuspid) valve * left ventricle * aortic valve * aorta * systemic circuit
The right ventricle empties into the pulmonary arteries and the left ventricle empties into the aorta.
Aorta -The pulmonary artery is just going to the lungs, so it has to be lower pressure.The aorta is where all the blood going to the rest of the body is pumped through.
There isn't one. The pulmonary artery flows from the lungs to the Left atrium, to the left ventricle, and then to the aorta
