What is the process of blood starting at the superior-and inferior of the vena cava and the flow of pulmonary bloods and veins?
Blood flow begins when deoxygenated blood from the body returns to the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, entering the right atrium. From there, it moves into the right ventricle, which pumps it through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs for oxygenation. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is expelled, and oxygen is absorbed. The now oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins, entering the left atrium, and subsequently flows into the left ventricle to be distributed throughout the body.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the inferior sternal bony landmark?
The xyphoid process is the inferior sternal bony landmark.
What surface articulates Inferior process of the superior thoracic vertebrae?
There is no inferior process on any vertebrae, thoracic or not. There is an inferior articular facet. The inferior articular facet would articulate with the superior articular facet of the vertebrae just superior to it.
What superior articular process of the sacrum articulate?
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
Hypertrophy of the inferior articulating process?
Hypertrophy refers to the increase of the size of an organ, which can often be detrimental. The inferior articular process is a part of the vertebrae, and as such hypertrophy in this location can be extremely dangerous.
What is the process by which blood moves between the heart and the lungs?
The process by which blood moves between the heart and the lungs is called pulmonary circulation. Deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
What is the inferior most portion of the sternum?
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
What vessels entering right atrium?
The blood from the body tissues arrives at the heart in vessels called the inferior and superior Vena Cavas. It enters the right atrium of the heart and is pumped passed the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Then a second, delayed contraction, pushes the blood through another valve, the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk. From here the blood moves through the left and right pulmonary arteries and enters the left and right lungs where gas exchange takes place. Carbon dioxide is dropped off and oxygen is picked up by the hemoglobin of the blood by a process known as diffusion. Then oxygenated blood moves through the pulmonary veins to the heart and enter into the left atrium. This completes the pulmonary circuit of the cardiovascular system.
Are there any parts of the body beginning with X?
The Xiphoid Process is part of the Sternum (breast bone). It is the inferior part to which the Costal Cartillage of the False Ribs attaches. The xyphoid process, which is the inferior portion of the sternum.
Is the hand below the xiphoid process?
In anatomical position, the hands are indeed inferior to the xiphoid process of the sternum.
What are the sections of the heart?
There are many section in the heart, starting with: The Superior Vena Cava, where de-oxygenated blood flows in from the body. From there the blood flows into the Right Atrium, through the Tricuspid Valve and into the Right Ventricle. After the blood is in the Right Ventricle, the blood flows out of the heart through the Inferior Vena Cava and in to the lungs, where it can be oxygenated. Once oxygenated, the blood flows back into the heart through the Pulmonary Artery. From the Pulmonary Artery the blood flows into the Left Atrium, through the Mitral Valve and into the Left Ventricle. From there the blood flows through the Pulmonary Valve to the Aorta and out into the body. The process then starts over from there.
What is the most inferior portion of the sternum?
The xiphoid process is the most inferior portion of the sternum. The superior section is the manubrium, and the medial portion is the body.
The inferior angle of the scapula is at the same level as the spinous process of which vertebrae?
t8 68% of people have their lower (inferior) angle of the scapula at the level of T7-T9. So the mid point of this is naturally T8 but there is some variation.
