An embolism from the great saphenous vein in the leg would first travel through the venous system into the femoral vein, then into the external iliac vein. From there, it would enter the common iliac vein and subsequently the inferior vena cava. Finally, the embolism would flow into the right atrium, pass into the right ventricle, and then be pumped into the pulmonary artery, where it may lodge and cause a pulmonary embolism.

What pathway does the blood flow when the ventricles undergo contraction?

When the ventricles contract, the right ventricle pushes blood up through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries via the pulmonary trunk, and the left ventricle pushes blood up through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.

Which vessels have a high oxygen content aorta pulmonary veins or pulmonary arteries?

They love this question on test! This is the only spot in the adult that the terms artery and vein are reversed. So in this case the pulmonary vein have the highest oxygen content. The pulmonary vein return blood from the lung, where it just got oxygenated.

Where is the blood going to when it leaves the right side of the heart?

The pathway of a red blood cell from the right atrium and back. (1) right atrium -> (2) right AV valve -> (3) right ventricle -> (4) pulmonary valve -> (5) pulmonary trunk -> (6) pulmonary arteries -> (7) lungs, for exchange of gases (not shown) -> (8) pulmonary veins -> (9) left atrium -> (10) left AV valve -> (11) left ventricle -> (12) aortic valve -> (13) aorta -> (14) other systemic vessels -> (15) inferior and superior venae cavae -> (16) back to the right atrium The pathway from 5 to 8 is the pulmonary circuit. The pathway from 13 to 15 is the systemic circuit.
