explain blood circulation through lungs.
Answers
Let's make it crisp and clear:
The right and left sides of the heart work together
Right side
Right Side
Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium.
Left Side
The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood, from the lungs into the left atrium.
Atrial contraction
Atrial contraction
Right Side
Blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve. When the ventricles are full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contract (squeeze).
Left Side
Blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricles are full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contract (squeeze).
Ventricular contraction
ventricular contraction blood flow
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels to and from tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood.
Right Side
Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs.
Left Side
Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body. This pattern is repeated, causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs and body.
How does blood flow through your lungs?
Once blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called the pulmonary circulation. From your pulmonic valve, blood travels to the pulmonary artery to tiny capillary vessels in the lungs. Here, oxygen travels from the tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, passes from the blood into the air sacs. Carbon dioxide leaves the body when you exhale. Once the blood is purified and oxygenated, it travels back to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.
blood is circulated throught lungs inside alveoli.
Alveoli is richely supplied with blood capillaries which carry the deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs and through alveli the carbondioxide gets out and oxygen enters the blood and blood passes the oxygenated blood to heart and then to whole body
