Blood flows from the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. From there it flows to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium and ventricle, then to the aorta.
The left atrium and left ventricle are part of which circuit of the cardiovascular system?
Pulmonary circuit
Which blood vessels does it pass through when it leaves the heart?
Systemic via the aorta - pulmonary via the pulmonary artery.
What is the step your step blood flow through the heart?
* Vena Cava * Right atrium * tricuspid valve * right ventricle * pulmonary valve * pulmonary artery * pulmonary circuit * pulmonary vein * left atrium * mitral (bicuspid) valve * left ventricle * aortic valve * aorta * systemic circuit
Blood ejected from the ventricles enters which vessels during ventricular systole?
Blood ejected from the ventricles enters the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle and the aorta from the left ventricle during ventricular systole.
Is blood pressure higher in the aorta or the pulmonary artery?
Aorta -The pulmonary artery is just going to the lungs, so it has to be lower pressure.The aorta is where all the blood going to the rest of the body is pumped through.
What is the vessel that connects the pulmonary artery and the aorta?
There isn't one. The pulmonary artery flows from the lungs to the Left atrium, to the left ventricle, and then to the aorta
Blood is pumped from the left ventricle to the what?
Right Antrium
What is largest artery in the pulmonary circulation?
aorta is main artery connection from the right ventricle which pump blood oxygen-rich through it and aorta will deleiver it to other body parts through its branches
