deoxygenated blood travels from the right side of the heart to each of the two lungs. Within the lungs O2 enters and CO2 leaves so that oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the left side of the heart.
circulation of blood between the heart and lungs
Movement of deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs. In lungs Co2 is exchanged for O2 and oxygenated blood returns to the heart.
The circulation of blood through the lungs for oxygenation. It is also known as the lesser circulation because the flow path is short and lower pressure is required for it to operate efficiently.
One of the two major divisions of the circulation; directs blood flow through the lungs for gas exchange with the atmosphere.
Refers to the blood vessels connecting the heart and the lungs, that is, pulmonary arteries and veins.
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. The term is contrasted with systemic circulation.
