Pulmonary Circulation. Recall that blood returning from the systemic circuit enters the right atrium (Figure 20.23) via the superior and inferior venae cavae and the coronary sinus, which drains the blood supply of the heart muscle. These vessels will be described more fully later in this section.

Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart. Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body.
13 kwi 2024 · The short answer is that deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium of the heart and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart, entering the left atrium, while the left ventricle pumps it to the body.
12 wrz 2023 · The circulatory system is divided into two separate loops: The shorter pulmonary circuit that exchanges blood between the heart and the lungs for oxygenation; and the longer systemic circuit that distributes blood throughout all other systems and tissues of the body. Both of these circuits begin and end in the heart.
30 paź 2023 · Circulatory circuit that carries deoxygenated blood from the right heart to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the left heart via pulmonary vessels. Structures: Right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins: Function: Oxygenation of blood
8 lis 2023 · After delivering oxygen and nutrients to all your organs and tissues, your blood enters your heart and flows to your lungs to gain oxygen and get rid of waste. It then flows back to your heart, which pumps the refreshed blood out through your aorta to nourish your body again.
24 lut 2023 · Bronchial veins carry approximately 13 percent of the blood that flows into the bronchial arteries; the remainder intermingles with the pulmonary circulation and returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
