The left side
As a pump
A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. The largest pulmonary artery is the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk from the heart, and the smallest ones are the arterioles, which lead to the capillaries that surround the pulmonary alveoli.
Pulmonary circulation flows to left side of heart and from right side of heart.
The Pulmonary side is larger.
the left side of the heart pumps blood into the pulmonary
The heart does not specifically pump to any organ, it pumps blood threw the circulatory system. The "Pulmonary side" of the cardiac circulation is the "right" side of the heart which pumps blood TO the lungs. Therefore all the parts of the heart which are on the right side would be considered the answer.
The left side of the heart is part of a high-pressure circuit. The left side of the heart must pump blood throughout the body, requiring higher pressure than the pulmonary circulation.
Your right side of the heart pumps blood in the pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary circulation should start from the origin of the pulmonary aorta.
left side of the heart
Pulmonary edema is a result of a left ventricle failure or simply congestive heart failure which results in the heart not being able to remove fluid from lung circulation.
When either the mitral or aortic valve is diseased, the heart's ability to pump blood from inside the left ventricle to the aorta (which brings blood to the rest of the body) is compromised. Blood backlogs into the pulmonary vessels (blood moves from the lungs to the left side of the heart) which increases pressure in the pulmonary vessels, eventually leading to pulmonary hypertension.
It is called the pulmonary circulation, where blood travels to the lungs to receive oxygen and lose carbon dioxide, before returning to the heart.
