What are the two kinds of blood circuit?

Veins and Arteries, I believe is what you are asking about. Arteries carry freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs; veins return the 'spent' blood to the lungs for a recharge. Arteries carry greater blood pressure. The two major blood circuit are the Pulmonary Circuit which is the circuit that runs through the lungs and the Systemic Circuit, Which is the circuit that takes the blood through the body.


What is meaning of blood circuit?

A blood circuit is the pathway blood travels from the heart out of the aorta to the rest of the body (oxygenated blood), then (deoxygenated blood) returns back to the heart to be sent to the lungs to exchange CO2 for oxygen then returns back to the starting point to leave the heart through the aorta again. A blood circuit is the pathway blood takes from a certain point then eventually returning back to that point.


Why Pulmonary veins are called veins even though they carry oxygenated?

All veins carry blood TO the heart. Normally, veins carry de-oxygenated blood, but the pulmonary vein poses an exception, because it takes fresh oxygen directly from the lungs. Likewise, the pulmonary artery carries de-oxygenated blood to the lungs. It is called an artery because it takes blood AWAY FROM the heart.


Where is Oxygen poor blood collected?

Deoxygenated blood is not collected anywhere. Blood is a constantly moving stream - it never stops, as the question implies. The oxygen poor blood goes to the lungs, where it turns oxygenated as it takes up oxygen.


What are the components of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit?

The heart is responsible for pumping the blood to every cell in the body. It is also responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on oxygen. The heart is able to pump blood to both regions efficiently because there are really two separate circulatory circuits with the heart as the common link. Some authors even refer to the heart as two separate hearts, a right heart in the pulmonary circuit and left heart in the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary arteries, goes to the lungs, and returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.

What is pulmunary circuit?

Pulmonary circulation is when the right ventricle contracts sending blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs to get oxygenated, then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.


Does the aorta carry oxygenated blood out of the heart?

I think it's false but I can't be sure you might want to try someone else. I thought oxygenated blood went to teh lung by the arteries but hey better if you check with someone else uless your willing to risk it.


Which blood vessel takes oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart?

Pulmonary Vein


What is the name of the blood vessel that takes oxygenated blood from the lung to the left atrium?

vena cava


What is the difference between the pulmanary vein and the pulmanary artery?

For the most part, arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry de-oxygenated blood. This is opposite in the pulmonary veins and arteries because they are going to and from the lungs to get oxygen.


What is the function of the pulmonary vein?

Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium so it can be transferred to the aorta which takes the blood to the head and arms.


What pump blood to all part of the body?

The Aorta, it takes the oxygenated blood to all the other parts of the body,


What takes oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the body?

your head not your hands


Pulmonary pathways takes blood where?

After the blood is oxygenated in the pulmonary vessels it is then taken to the left atrium and then flows throught the valve in the heart and sent to the left ventricle where the heart then beats or pumps the oxygenated blood to the body


Where does the aortic valve transport blood?

aortic valve opens the way for oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the aorta, which takes the blood to the body.


Where does the Aortic valve transport blood to?

aortic valve opens the way for oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the aorta, which takes the blood to the body.
