Describe the route blood takes in the mammalian pulmonary circuit starting from the right ventricle and ending in the right ventricle. (11 steps) |
1.contraction of the right ventricle pumps blood into the lungs 2. via the pulmonary arteries 3. flowing through capillary beds in the left and right lungs. It loads O2 and unloads CO2. Oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs via the lumonary veins into 4. the left atrium. Next the oxygen rich blood flows into the 5. left ventricle, which pumps O2 rich blood out to the body tissues through the systemic circuit. Next, blood leaves the left ventricle 6. via the aorta, which conveys blood to arteries leading throughout the body. The first branches leading from the aorta are the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle itself. 7. Then, branches lead to capillary beds in the heads and arms. The aorta then descends into the abdomend |
