APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body’s tissues through the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary circulation includes a vast network of arteries, veins, and lymphatics that function to exchange blood and other tissue fluids between the heart, the lungs, and back. They are designed to perform certain specific functions that are unique to the pulmonary circulation, such as ventilation and gas exchange.

Detailed explanation-3: -After oxygenation, the oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary vein. The movement of blood between the heart and lungs is called the pulmonary circulation.
