I thought my husband had COPD but have recently learned it is pulmonary fibrosis. What is the difference. Is there any hope for patients with this disease. What about apple cider vinegar - could this be helpful?

What is the function of pulmonary vain?

The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart so that it may be circulated all over the body. Anything "pulmonary" has to do with the lungs, like the pulmonary arteries bring de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs so that it may travel to the aveolis and become oxygenated.


What body system resembles the branches of a tree?

The pulmonary system resembles the braches of a tree. It's sometimes called the pulmonary tree.


A blood clot that is carried through the blood stream is termed a?

An embolus. This can become lodged in a blood vessel and block blood flow, leading to serious complications like a pulmonary embolism or stroke.


What is the cause of pulmonary stenosis?

Pulmonary stenosis is often caused by congenital heart defects where the pulmonary valve is abnormally narrow. This narrowing restricts blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the right side of the heart. Pulmonary stenosis can also be acquired later in life due to conditions like rheumatic heart disease or infective endocarditis.


When blood travels through the triscupid valve. Where does it go next?

Blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. It then goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated, then back to the heart via the pulmonary vein. From the left atrium it goes down through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle, then it's off to the body again via the aorta (the 'almighty artery' as I like to call it lol).

Your lungs hurt is that pneumonia?

It depends on how hurt you are. Bronchial pneumonia or pulmonary pneumonia can hurt you a lot. But there are other things like bronchitis, bronchial asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and tuberculosis. You have to consult your doctor.

How does the pulmonary circulation work in your body?

Much like the systemic circulation, but at a lower pressure: Blood flows from the right ventricle through pulmonary artery to lungs where the gases are exchanged to pulmonary vein to left atria.


Why a rat have pulmonary circuit?

They have lungs like humans so they have the same sort of blood vessels we do.


What is special about the pulmonary artery?

The pulmonary artery goes away from the heart, so does not actually do anything for the heart. However, once blood enters the heart via the venae cavae (the veins that bring the body's entire blood supply into the heart) it then travels through the right atrium to the right ventricle, through yes!, the pulmonary artery (pulmonary means pertaining to the lungs) . From there the blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary artery and branches into capillaries, where the exchange of carbon dioxide to oxygen occurs. The blood then travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein, the exception to the rule that veins are oxygen-poor. From there the blood enters the left atrium, is pumped into the left ventricle, and from there is pushed into the aorta where it travels to supply the entire body with the now-oxygenated blood. So, that is the relationship the pulmonary artery has with the heart. The cornonary arteries, which feed off of the aorta, are what supply the heart itself with blood. Just in case that's what you were looking for by asking this question. Hope that answers your question!!!!!

The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.


How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?

The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
