APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart. Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -This deoxygenated blood is pumped into the lungs from the pulmonary valve. In the lungs, the deoxygenated blood is purified into oxygenated blood where the carbon dioxide is released. Finally, the oxygenated blood return to the heart through pulmonary veins where it is pumped all over the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The blood first enters the right atrium. The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.
