Detailed explanation-1: -The pump for the pulmonary circuit, which circulates blood through the lungs, is the right ventricle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The right side of your heart is your pulmonary circuit pump, and the left side of your heart is your systemic circulatory pump.
Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle (RV) pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary valve (PV) into the main pulmonary artery (MPA). From there, the blood flows through the right and left pulmonary arteries into the lungs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood into the lungs through the pulmonary artery while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body through the aorta, the largest artery in the body.
Detailed explanation-5: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.
