Deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the right atrium and then it flows through the triscuspid valve into the right ventricle. (The term tricuspid refers to the three flaps of tissue that make up the valve). Contraction of the ventricle then closes the tricuspid valve and forces open the pulmonary valve. Blood then flows into the pulmonary artery. This branches immediately, carrying blood to the right and left lungs. Here the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on a fresh supply of oxygen. The capillary beds of the lungs are drained by venules that are the tributaries of the pulmonary veins. Four pulmonary veins, two draining each lung, carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. Blood also flows throughout the major arteries of the body.

What are the 3 primary cycles of blood in the human body?

The three primary cycles of blood in the human body are the pulmonary circulation, systemic circulation, and the portal circulation. Pulmonary circulation involves the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs, systemic circulation circulates blood throughout the body, while portal circulation carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver.


What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?

The systemic circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.


What circulation disperses oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.?

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 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.


Which of the two paths of blood circulation is shorter?

The pulmonary circulation (from heart to lungs and back) is shorter than the systemic circulation (from heart to body tissues and back).


Why systemic circulation is also regarded as a greater circulation?

Systemic circulation is also regarded as a greater circulation because it sends oxygenated blood to the cells of the body and takes de-oxygenated blood from the cells to the heart, Therefore the cells will live longer.
