    Study Notes

    Blood Flow and Oxygenation

    • Branches of the pulmonary artery divide and subdivide into capillaries around the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
    • CO2 passes from the blood into the air sacs and is exhaled.
    • Inhaled O2 passes from the air within the lungs into the blood.

    Pulmonary Veins

    • Two left and two right pulmonary veins enter the left atrium.

    Systemic Circulation

    • Contractions of the left ventricle eject oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation.

    Abdominal Aorta Branches

    • Inferior phrenic
    • Celiac
    • Superior mesenteric
    • Renal
    • Inferior mesenteric
    • Common iliac (divides into external iliac and internal iliac)

    Upper Limb Arteries

    • Subclavian
    • Axillary
    • Brachial
    • Radial
    • Ulnar

    Lower Limb Arteries

    • Common femoral artery
    • Superficial femoral
    • Profunda femoris
    • Popliteal

    Heart Function

    • The heart requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function and survive.
    • The pulmonary trunk emerges from the right ventricle and divides into two branches: the right pulmonary artery to the right lung and the left pulmonary artery to the left lung.
