Nós do fluxograma

• PULMONARY CIRCULATION

• 1. It starts in the right side of the heart. Blood that is high in carbon dioxide, passes from the right atrium to the right ventricle. 

•      2.From there (right ventricle)  it leaves the heart via the pulmonary artery and travels to the lungs.

•            3.In the lungs, blood releases              carbon dioxide and collects oxygen. Gas exchange takes place in alveoli.

• 4.Blood that is high in oxygen returns to the heart (left atrium) through the pulmonary veins.
