Which statement about pulmonary circulation is TRUE?
-
Deoxygenated blood is transported from the heart to the lungs
-
Oxygenated blood is transported from the heart to the lungs
-
Deoxygenated blood is transported from the lungs to the heart
-
Pumps blood from the heart to the lungs under high pressure
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Deoxygenated blood is transported from the heart to the lungs because pulmonary circulation is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. This oxygenation process occurs in the lungs, and the oxygenated blood is then returned to the left side of the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.
