Which is true of the pulmonary circuit? Blood is pumped through it by the left ventricle. Resting blood pressure in the pulmonary artery is normally equal to that in the aorta. The cardiac output into the pulmonary circuit is approximately 1/6 of that into the systemic circuit Blood is pumped through it by the left ventricle. Four pulmonary vessels return blood to the left side of the heart.

In the pulmonary circuit, the heart's half pumps blood to lungs, then heart. right, deoxygenated, oxygenated right, oygenated, deoxygenated left, deoxygenated, oxygenated left, oygenated, deoxygenated The atria of the heart contain deoxygenated blood and the ventricles contain oxygenated blood. True False Which of the following statements about the systemic circuit are true? a. The systemic circuit carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues b. The systemic circuit carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs c. The systemic circuit carries deoxygenated blood from the tissues to the heart d. All of the above are true
