Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The transportation of blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and back to the left side of the heart is known as ____ circulation.
A
systemic
B
cardiac
C
pulmonary
D
coronary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -When the right ventricle contracts, blood is forced through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. Then it travels to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood receives oxygen then leaves through the pulmonary veins. It returns to the heart and enters the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your pulmonary arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood from the right side of your heart to your lungs. In medical terms, the word “pulmonary” means something that affects your lungs.
