Circulatory system is a __________ circuit. An obstruction of flow at any point will cause blood to back up behind it.
continuous
Pulmonary circulation is composed of:
- A PUMP (RT VENTRICLE)
- PULMONARY ARTERY
- PULMONARY CAPILLARIES
- PULONARY VEINS
PULMONARY CIRCULATION (ORDER)
- Right heart receives DEOXYGENATED blood from systemic circulation,
- Passes through right atrium, through TV into RV, through pulmonic valve into pulmonary artery.
- Travels through lungs - becomes OXYGENATED
- Returns to left heart through FOUR pulmonic veins
