Systemic Circuit Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body. From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart. What brings blood back to the heartRead More →
Pulmonary veins: The veins do the opposite job of pulmonary arteries and collects the oxygenated blood and carry it from the lungs back to the heart. The veins merge into larger veins. Each lung has two pulmonary veins that deliver blood to the heart’s top left chamber or atrium. IsRead More →
Deoxygenated blood is received from the systemic circulation into the right atrium, it is pumped into the right ventricle and then through the pulmonary artery into the lungs. Where does oxygenated blood came from? Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upperRead More →
The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the entire body. – The one-way valves which are present in the heart prevent the backflow of blood, so, Oxygen-rich and carbon dioxide-rich blood cannot be mixed. Hence, the correct answer is option (A). Why is it important to keep the oxygenatedRead More →
