Pulmonary circulatory system.
The movement of blood to the heart tissue is called myocardial perfusion. In order for the myocardium (the heart muscle) to get oxygen and nutrients it has its own circulation providing a blood supply known as the coronary circulation. The coronary arteries (oxygenated blood vessels of the heart) supply nutrients and oxygen to the heart muscles between heart beats when the heart is relaxed (during diastole). Blood is routed from the surface of the heart muscle to deeper tissues of the myocardium. After delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the heart, coronary veins pick up the blood and route it into the pulmonary (lungs) circulation where it can become re-oxygenated and return oxygenated blood back to the heart.
Blood enters the right side of the heart through the first part of the superior and ending part of the inferior vena cavae as well as the coronary sinus where it enters the right atrium. From the right atrium is flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle it goes through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary .artery and into the lungs. blood returns to the heart via pulmonary veins. From the pulmonary veins the blood enters back into the left atrium then through the mitral (bicuspid valve) and into the left ventricle, then flows through the aortic valve into the aorta and systemic circulation takes place and de oxygenated blood comes back via veins and back into the heart for circulation again.
A pulmonary embolism is a tissue fragment (part of a blood clot, fat, amniotic fluid, part of a tumour or bullet fragment) that became loose in the blood stream and was carried by the blood stream to a different location. A pulmonary embolism is, in most cases, a thromboembolism (part of a blood clot), which is carried from the deep veins of the legs or the pevis. It travels up the blood stream, through the inferior vena cava, into the heart, and subsequently into the pulmonary artery. In the pulmonary artery, it arrests, forming a potentially life threating occlusion. Cor pulmonale is hypertrophy of the right ventricle due to chronic pulmonary hypertension. The pulmonay hypertension means that the right ventricle has to pump blood with greater force, causing its muscle to hypertrophy (enlarge in size). Therefore, to summarize, a pulmonary embolism is an obstruction of pulmonary blood flow while cor pulmonale is the morphological change of the right ventricle due to pulmonary hypertension.
Heart valves are made up of connective tissue that is collectively called the endocardium. Depending on the specific valve it can also be referred to as a cusp/s(aorta & pulmonary) or leaflet/s(mitral & tricuspid).
The Capillaries transfers waste filled blood from the tissues into the Pulmonary circulation.capillariesTiny blood vessels that pass food and oxygen to cells and receive waste from cells.
Pulmonary circulation = between the heart and the lungs Coronary circulation = the heart tissue's own blood supply Systematic circulation = between the heart and the rest of the body
Pulmonary circulation is different because it is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, whereas systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Pulmonary circulation has lower pressure compared to systemic circulation to prevent damage to the delicate lung tissue.
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart. The term pulmonary circulation is readily paired and contrasted with the systemic circulation. A separate system known as the bronchial circulation supplies blood to the tissue of the larger airways of the lung.
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. It carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.
The three major circuits of blood flow are the systemic circulation, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart, the pulmonary circulation, which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and returns oxygenated blood to the heart, and the coronary circulation, which supplies the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
