Q

Blood flow from RV

A
  • oxygen poor blood flow from RV through pulmonary semilunar valve into pulmonary trunk
  • flows through pulmonary arterioles and into capillaries of alveoli
  • carbon dioxide taken by respiratory membrane
  • oxygen rich blood flows from capillaries into pulmonary venues
  • 4 pulmonary veins carry ORB into LA
