Blood Flow of the Heart
Systemic Circulation
All organs in the body which are parts of the different systems receive oxygen rich blood.
Coronary Circulation
As the Aorta emerges out of the heart wall, it branches out into it's first branches: Right and Left Coronary Arteries which supply oxygen rich blood to the heart
Systemic Circulation
Blood enters the left atrium and passes through the Mitral/Bicuspid Valve to enter into the left ventricle.
Systemic Circulation
Blood is pumped by the left Ventricle into the Aorta through the Aortic Semilunar Valve.
Pulmonary Circulation
Circulation from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is known as Pulmonary Circulation
Pulmonary Circulation
Deoxygenated blood from the Superior Vena Cava and Inferior Vena Cava enters the right Atrium
Systemic Circulation
Oxygen is taken in by every single cell of all the organs and the cell releases carbon dioxide into the blood vessels which are returning to the heart.
Systemic Circulation
Oxygen rich blood from the lungs is transported to the heart into the left atrium.
Coronary Circulation
Oxygenated blood from the Left Ventricle is pumped into the Aorta through the Aortic Semilunar Valve.
Systemic Circulation
Poorly oxygenated blood from all the organs returns back to the heart through the Inferior Vena Cave and Superior Vena Cava.
Systemic Circulation
The Aorta supplies oxygen rich blood to the heart and entire body.
Coronary Circulation
The Right Atrium is the chamber that receives deoxygenated blood from the entire body and the heart and thus begins the pulmonary circulation.
Coronary Circulation
The cells in the heart muscle wall receive oxygen and give out carbon dioxide that empties into the coronary veins.
Systemic Circulation
The circulation of the blood from the heart to the body and back to the heart is systemic circulation.
Coronary Circulation
The coronary sinus brings back all the deoxygenated blood from the heart into the right atrium for the posterior wall of the heart.
Coronary Circulation
The coronary veins bring back the deoxygenated blood from the heart and empties it into the largest vein of the heart, the Coronary Sinus.
Pulmonary Circulation
The deoxygenated blood from the right atrium flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
Pulmonary Circulation
The deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs, loses the carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen in the alveoli.
Pulmonary Circulation
The oxygen rich blood returns to the heart transported by the pulmonary veins from both the lungs and enters the left atrium.
Pulmonary Circulation
The right and left Pulmonary Arteries transports the deoxygenated blood to the right and left lungs.
Pulmonary Circulation
The right ventricle pumps blood through the Pulmonic Semilunar Valve into the Pulmonary Trunk/Artery.
