Pulmonary And Coronary Circulation + The Ascending Aorta Flashcards
This type of circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. The deoxygenated blood will be exchanged for oxygenated blood in the capillaries. The oxygenated blood will then be brought back to the left atrium of the heart.
What is pulmonary circulation?
This type of circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the anterior and posterior aspect of the heart. The oxygenated blood will be exchanged for deoxygenated blood in the capillaries. The deoxygenated blood will then be brought back to the right atrium of the heart.
What is coronary circulation?
This type of circulation is known as blood flow to and venous return from various systems or regions
What is systemic circulation?
The primary job of this type of circulation is to REoxygenate the blood
What is pulmonary circulation?
In which chambers of the heart does pulmonary circulation begin?
What is the right ventricle?
What type of blood leaves the right ventricle - oxygenated or deoxygenated?
What is deoxygenated blood?
What are the two branches of the pulmonary trunk?
What is the right pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery.
What does the right pulmonary arteries supply deoxygenated blood to?
The right lung
What does the left pulmonary artery supply deoxygenated blood to?
The left lung
How many pulmonary veins are there in total?
What’s 4 - 2 left and 2right
This chamber is where pulmonary circulation ends…
What is the left atrium?
This is the largest artery in the human body
What is the aorta?
This largest ARTERY arises from this chamber of the heart
What is the left ventricle?
This largest artery has four major divisions classified, according to position, (the ascending aorta, aortic arch, the thoracic aorta, the abdominal aorta)
What is the aorta?
What are the four major divisions of the aorta, ….classified according to their positions?
What is 1. The ascending Aorta 2. The aortic arch 3. the thoracic aorta and 4. the abdominal aorta
