The blood leaves the right side of the heart via the atrioventricular valve then onto the pulmonary artery where it enters the capillary network around the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs where the red blood cells that carry oxygen are in close contact with the oxygen in the air. Here they offload carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, before returning to the left atria to be pumped into the left ventricle and on to the rest of the body.

What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
What is the circulation called when it travels from the heart to the lungs and back?
Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart, to the lungs, and back.
Where does the blood go after pulmonary circulation is complete?

Is the pulmonary artery a part of systemic circulation?

Where does blood travel to and from pulmonary circulation?
after it is done with the pulmonary circulation it goes directly to the lungs
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.
What is the route blood takes from the heart to the lungs and back again?
The pulmonary circulation takes blood from the heart to the lungs and back again. Blood moves from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, then into the lungs where blood is oxygenated. Blood returns from the lungs to the heart in the pulmonary vein, and enters the left atrium.
Describe the path blood follows through the pulmonary circulation loop?
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
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
What organ in the heart where pulmonary circulation is started?
Your right side of the heart pumps blood in the pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary circulation should start from the origin of the pulmonary aorta.
What is the last blood vessel of pulmonary circulation is the?
pulmonary vein
What are the two types of circulation in the body?
Pulmonary - carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Systemic - carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
