When blood that is rich in oxygen re enters the heart, the blood enters through the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve brings the oxygen rich blood to the pulmonary trunk of the pulmonary artery.

What Right pulmonary veins does it do?

The right pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the right lung to the left atrium of the heart. This blood then enters the left ventricle before being pumped to the rest of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients.


What is the last valve oxygen depleted blood must pass through before pumping to the lungs?

The last valve oxygen-depleted blood must pass through before being pumped to the lungs is the pulmonary valve. This valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery and prevents blood from flowing back into the heart. Once the blood passes through this valve, it enters the pulmonary artery and travels to the lungs for oxygenation.


What is pulmonary circulation?

Pulmonary Circulation is part of the Cardiovascular system in which it carries oxygen depleted blood away from the heart and to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Deoxygenated blood exits the heart through the pulmonary arteries and enters the lungs and oxygenated blood comes back through pulmonary veins. The blood moves from right ventricle of the heart to the lungs back to the left atrium.


What vessels does not carry oxygen-poor blood to the right ventricle?

The pulmonary veins do not carry oxygen-poor blood to the right ventricle. Instead, the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.


Which blood vessel carries oxygen-poor blood back to the heart?

Systemic veins, not to be confused with pulmonary veins, carry oxygen poor blood back to the heart.

What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?

Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.


What is the site where oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?

Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs


Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs and enters the?

Oxygen rich blood is taken though the pulmonary capillaries to the pulmonary venules. It is returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins that empty into the left atrium. From the left atrium, the oxygen rich blood is pumped into the left ventricle and out of the heart to the rest of the body though the aorta.


What gas leaves the blood in pulmonary capillaries and enters the alveoli?

carbon dioxide


What is the pattern of blood flow away from the heart?

When blood enters the pulmonary valve of the heart it flows away from it and enters the lungs. As a result, oxygen is picked up by the lings and transferred back through the pulmonary valve to the heart.


What is the only vein in the body that carries oxygen-poor blood?

Mostly, but not entirely. Oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and enters the heart via the pulmonary veins.


Where does oxygen rich blood enters first?

Oxygen-rich blood enters the left atrium of the heart from the lungs through the pulmonary veins. It then travels to the left ventricle before being pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta.


Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?

The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.


Which pulmonary blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood?

The pulmonary veins carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.


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.


Site from which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?

Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood from the alveoli in the lungs. This gas exchange occurs across the thin walls of the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries, allowing oxygen to be absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be released.


In a mammal blood with low oxygen content enters the of the heart?

The blood with high oxygen content enter the heart in left atrium through right and left pulmonary veins, combined together.
