Why is the pulmonary circulation considered to be a circuit that keeps the lungs dry?

You are a red blood cell in the Right atrium getting ready to travel through the pulmonary circuit. From the right atrium, you will pass through the _____ into the _____. From there you will pass through the ______ and into the _______ which splits and becomes the _______ which will take you to the lungs where you will pick up a new load of oxygen. After pick up your oxygen, you exit the lungs and return to the heart via the _______ , then enter the ______ of the heart. You pass through the _____, into the _____. From there you pass through the ______ into the ______. You travel through the systemic arteries and find yourself delivering oxygen to the big toe of your human. With your oxygen delivery duties done for this round through the systemic circuit you return to the heart via the _______ and get ready for another round through the pulmonary circuit.   Word Options for Blanks: (some may not be used, some may be used more than once) aorta aortic valve bicuspid valve coronary sinus…

A small ridge of cartilage at the most inferior portion of the "windpipe" called the __________ now directs some air towards the left lung and some towards the right lung.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The air will now travel through a series of tubes that become smaller and smaller as they repeatedly branch; these tubes, very similar in structure to the "windpipe", are called __________.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Even tinier tubes continue branching; these tubes contain…

which of the following vessels contain O2-rich, CO2 poor blood? pick two answers: pulmonary arteries, aorta, pulmonary veins, vena cavae

Describe the role of the pulmonary circuit.

Which of the following is an example of the respiratory and circulatory systems working together? The blood flows through the kidneys, and waste products are removed. The lungs take in air, and the blood carries oxygen to the body's cells. O The diaphragm flexes, and the lungs take in air. OThese two systems do not work together.

Which of the following would you expect to find in the pulmonary system? An overall higher concentration of oxygen in the pulmonary arteries A similar concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide as in the rest of the body An overall higher concentration of oxygen in the pulmonary veins An overall higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the veins

Compare the function of the pulmonary circuit and the system circuit.

How are the respiratory system and circulatory system connected? The air from outside the mouth directly goes into blood from the bronchioles When the air is in the aveoli sac it goes through another section that leads to the capillaries Air gets to aveoli and the capillaries around the sac transfers through gas exchange, diffusion The capillaries in the nose get the oxygen to the heart

Describe the pathway for the system and pulmonary circuits.
