Trace one drop of blood from the time it enters the right atrium until it enters the left atrium. What is this circuit called?
Fill in the table below by indicating the organ, region or vessel that the named vessel receives blood from, and the organ, region or vessel to which it delivers blood (see example for aorta and coronary arteries). If you’re doing it right, both columns will have the same answer. You will need to refer to the images in your textbook and lab models to do this.

- The renal artery branches off of the abdominal aorta. Together the kidneys receive about 25% of cardiac output (1.2-1.3 liters/minute) via the renal arteries. The vessel marked is seen in the sinus of the kidney. It is identified as an example of which of the following? Choose from the following: (A) interlobar artery (B) interlobular artery (C) segmental artery (D) arcuate arteryarrow_forwardAn atrial septal defect is a birth defect in which there is an opening in the septum between the left and right atria. People with such a defect typically have more than a normal amount of blood in the right atrium. Why does blood flow from left to right across the septum rather than in the opposite direction? The excess of blood can cause hypertension in one circuit. Which one?arrow_forwardDescribe the nutrient and gas content of the blood flowing in the umbilical vein.
