Comparing The Fatal Circulation Of Blood

The heart size varies with body size pumping blood to Likewise, Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, and then is pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. From the lungs, the blood flows to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle, forming the complete circulation.

 The cardiovascular system The heart is a major organ in the body, this organ pumps blood around the body, through veins, capillaries and arteries. The blood carries oxygen to our cells and also carries waste products which include water and carbon dioxide, which are products of respiration. Blood also helps

The hearts function as a double pump that serves two circulations. The pulmonary pump in the right side of heart is provided for the gas exchange in the body, and the systemic circulation in the left side provides the functional blood supply to all body tissues. The functional blood to the heart is provided by the coronary arteries. Right coronary artery supplies the heart through the posterior interventricular and marginal artery branches; and the left coronary artery supplies the heart via anterior interventricular artery and the circumflex artery. The myocardium is drained by great, small, and middle cardiac veins which

→ deoxygenated blood (color blue) → oxygenated blood (color red) Blood flows from the tissues → superior and inferior vena cava → right atrium → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonary semilunar valve → pulmonary artery → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → bicuspid (mitral) valve → left ventricle → aortic semilunar valve → aorta →body tissue.

Coronary and Portal circulatory are different in many ways. Why they are different? They are different because the Coronary Circulatory is the movement of the blood through the vessels of the heart and the Portal Circulatory is the flow of blood from one organ to another, without going through the heart.

The Heart and Blood Circulation The heart is a four chambered muscular pump around the size of a fist. It beats about 100,000 times a day pumping around 2,000 gallons of blood through about 100,000 miles of organic tubing. The heart is a big muscle with four valves connected together to make a two-stage pump. The heart gets its energy by oxidizing blood sugars. This released energy, contracts the heart’s many muscle cells, and the four chambers squeeze blood out into the arteries. The arteries are thick walled muscular tubes which carry blood away from the heart. The heart has two sides - the left ventricle and the right ventricle. The artery from the right ventricle pumps blood to The venae cavae collects oxygen depleted blood from the body and routes the blood to the right atrium in the heart. When the right atrium squeezes, it pushes blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Like the other three heart valves this is a one way valve (blood can only flow in one direction). When the right ventricle contracts, it pushes blood through the pulmonary valve and on into the lungs. Because it does not take much pressure to get blood to the lungs and back, the right side is smaller than the left. The left side has to work harder pumping blood to the rest of the body. Blood in our

The blood flow both the pulmonary and systemic circuits in humans The cardiovascular system is made up of two circulatory routes, the pulmonary circuit and the systematic circuit. The blood is oxygenated in the lungs during the pulmonary circuit and then the oxygenated blood is circulated through the rest of

Fetal Circulatory The fetal circulatory route is connected to the mother’s circulatory system. The mother does the work that the baby’s lungs will do after birth. Blood enters through the placenta, picking up oxygen before returning to the fetus. It returns to the fetus through the umbilical vein. The core concept behind fetal circulation is that fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than does adult hemoglobin, which allows a diffusion of oxygen from the mother’s circulatory system to the fetus. The mother is not directly connected to that of the fetus, so the placenta functions as the respiratory center for the fetus as well as a site of filtration for plasma nutrients and wastes. The uterine arteries carry blood to the

To prevent the right ventricular blood from passing straight to the aorta, the ductus arteriosus contract (shuts off) and close the vessel, which results in a flow of the blood through the pulmonary arteries. The ductus arteriosus closes temporarily after fifteen hours after birth, and permanently after three weeks. A large amount of blood that flows into left atrium results with decreased pressure in the pulmonary circulation and the foramen ovale closes temporarily two hours after the birth, and permanently after three months. The ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale become ligaments after permanent closure. To prevent blood loss by the placenta, the umbilical vessels close. The placental blood returns to the body. Also, to prevent the blood from bypassing the liver, the ductus venosus closes and becomes the ligamentum venosum (which helps secure the liver to the abdominal wall). It closes temporarily when the umbilical cord is cut, and permanently in around one

When the blood becomes oxygenated, it travels through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, and finally into the left ventricle. The left ventricle is idiosyncratic in that it has to pump blood with a sufficient amount of force for systemic circulation, which is the circulation toward the tissues and organs. The left ventricle is much more thicker than the right ventricle, because it needs that extra muscle to produce the strong force. The fetal heart is idiosyncratic, in that blood does not travel into the lungs. There are two shunts in the fetal heart, the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale. The ductus arteriosus is a passageway for the blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, omitting the blood pathway to the lungs. The foramen ovale on the other hand is a shunt that carries blood from the right atrium to the left atrium, again avoiding the lungs. The fundamental process for fetus to acquire oxygen is through the placenta. Now that we understand the structure, and mechanical function of the heart, it is worthy to note how the heart actually

The journey of the blood through the heart begins at the point when deoxygenate blood returning from the body is entering the hearts via the superior and inferior vena cava. From the right atrium the blood passes to the right ventricle via tricuspid valve. At this point ventricular contraction begins and forcing blood out of right ventricle via opened the semilunar valve. Blood is further pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. In lungs, blood collects oxygen and release the CO2. Oxygenated blood is returning to the left atrium through pulmonary veins and is carried to the left ventricle through biscupid valve. When contraction of heart happens again the blood from left ventricle is forced to the aorta and leaves the heart. Blood circulates

There are two primary circulation loops in the human body known as pulmonary circulation loops and systemic circulation loops. o Pulmonary circulation loops: is responsible for transporting oxygenate-poor blood from right atrium, to the right ventricle and then to the lung. The blood then picks oxygen in the lung and

It seems fitting at this point then, to quickly review the two types of circulatory “circuits” that the heart exhibits while pumping blood throughout the body. The two types of circulatory circuits that the heart exhibits always work in series – that is, “the output of one becomes the input of the other” (Tortora, G.J., & Derrickson, B., 2017, p. 705). These two circuits, or circulatory systems, are known as: systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation (refer to figure 1.3).
