Detailed explanation-1: -The pulmonary circuit carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood is then transported back to the heart completing the pulmonary circuit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary Circuit Pulmonary circulation transports oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs, where blood picks up a new blood supply. Then it returns the oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary circulation has many essential functions. Its primary function involves the exchange of gases across the alveolar membrane which ultimately supplies oxygenated blood to the rest of the body and eliminates carbon dioxide from the circulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your pulmonary arteries carry blood from your heart to your lungs. They’re the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood.
