Key Concepts

Pulmonary Circulation

Pulmonary circulation is the pathway that moves deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Specifically, blood is pumped from the right ventricle via the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it receives oxygen, and then carried back by the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.

Circulatory System

The circulatory system is a network responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. It includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, and is split into two main circuits: the systemic circulation that delivers oxygenated blood to tissues and the pulmonary circulation that handles blood oxygenation in the lungs.

Cardiac Anatomy

Cardiac anatomy involves the structure of the heart, which consists of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) as well as associated valves and connective tissues. Understanding these structures is essential for tracing the flow of blood within the heart and ensuring proper directional flow.

Blood Vessels

Blood vessels are the conduits of the circulatory system, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and typically transport oxygenated blood, whereas veins return blood to the heart. Their roles are critical in maintaining the flow of blood through both the systemic and pulmonary circuits.
