The pulmonary circulation loop carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, this blood releases carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen through the alveoli. Once oxygenated, the blood returns to the left atrium of the heart, completing the cycle. This process is essential for replenishing oxygen in the bloodstream.

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.
What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?
Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.
What does a pulmonary artery carry that a pulmonary vein doesn't?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood.
Does the pulmonary vein collect oxygen from the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenatedblood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart :)
What carries blood towards the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation carries blood into the lungs.
What circulation transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen?
Blood travels to the lungs because it is not oxygenated and it will become oxygenated in the lungs, since that is what the lungs are for. The pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein takes blood from the lungs back to the heart, from whence it is pumped throughout the body.
What is the loop called that carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart?
The pulmonary circulation carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back. In the pulmonary circulation, arteries carry deoxygenated blood.
What are the pulmonary and systemic circulation pathways?
The pulmonary system carries blood low in oxygen from the heart to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and returns to the heart again. The opposite is true of the system.
What type of blood gets carried by the pulmonary artey?
The pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart and it is low in oxygen.
What is systematic and pulmonary circulation?
Systematic circulation is the circulation of blood from the heart, to the body and then back to the heart again, while pulmonary circulation is the circulation of blood from the heart, to the lungs and then back to the heart.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
Does the pulmonary vein contain oxygen poor blood?
Yes. After the right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs (through the pulmonary arteries), the pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium of the heart.Because blood vessels are classified by whether they lead into or away from the heart, the pulmonary veins are carrying oxygenated blood, whereas the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
