A description of blood flow through the pulmonary circuit that includes heart chambers, vessels, and tissues starting and ending with the great vessel that empties blood into the chambers of the left side of the heart.
What is the process of oxygen-rich blood in pulmonary vein-->left atrium-->left ventricle-->aorta-->arteries-->perfuses tissues/cells of the body-->oxygen-poor blood in veins-->vena cava-->right atrium-->right ventricle-->pulmonary artery-->lung tissue/cells exchange CO2 for O2-->oxygen rich blood enters pulmonary vein?
