Pulmonary Blood Systemic Carried Lungs Body Deoxygenated Ventricle
| Front |
Draw a table to show differences between pulmonary and systemic circulation. |
| Back |
Pulmonary vs systemic circulation:
| Pulmonary | Systemic |
|---|
- Deoxygenated blood from right ventricle carried to lungs thru pulmonary artery
- Oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium thru pulmonary vein
- Blood carried to and from lungs
- Releases CO2 from and obtains O from the lungs from the air
- Lower pressure because pulmonary arteries less resistant
| - Oxygenated blood carried from left ventricle to rest of the body thru the aorta
- Deoxygenated blood from body to right atrium thru venae cavae
- Blood carried to and from the body
- Provides nutrients and O to body cells & removes their waste and CO2
- Higher pressure bc systemic arteries more resistant
