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.
pathway of blood circulatwed by pulomanary
the left side of the heart pumps blood into the pulmonary
The pulmonary circuit.
Pulmonary circulation :)
Lesser circulation or the pulmonary circulation.
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.
Pulmonary vein, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta, arteries ,then to the capillaries
-tricuspid valve -pulmonary semilunar valve -mitral/bicuspid valve -aotic valve
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.

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.
Right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle > pulmonary semilunar valve > pulmonary arteries > lungs > pulmonary veins > left atrium > bicuspid valve > left ventricle > aortic semilunar valve > aorta > arteries > arterioles > capillaries > venues > veins > superior/inferior vena cava > right atrium (again)
