Question

escribe the pulmonary circulation by detailing the flow of blood from the right ventricle to the left atrium. Include the names of the blood vessels 18. Describe the blood flow to the liver (both arterial and venous) and how it differs from what is typically seen in most organs 19. What would be the benefit of having sinusoidal capillaries at the liver? 20. What are the structural differences seen between fetal and adult circulation? lahmratry Gardiovascular System: Blood Vessels and Hemodynamics 125

Explanation / Answer

17.Pathway of deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where it gets rod of CO2 and is resupplies with oxygen back to heart

Right ventricle - pulmonary artery-pulmonary arterioles- pulmonary capillaries-pulmonary venules-pulmonary veins- to left atrium

18. It contains both hepatic artery and hepatic vein which has blood supply

It contains portal system which is hepatic portal vein which connects the liver from Gastrointestinal tract.So it differs from other with portal system

19.In the liver the endothelium of sinusoids is discontinous and large macrophages called kupffer cells, which remove and destroy any contained bacteria from the part of lining of endothelium

20.presence of shunts which allows the oxygenated blood to bypass the right ventricle and pulmonary circulation,flow directly to the ledt ventricle and for the aorta to supply the heart and ventricle

3 shunts

1.Ductus venosus

2.Foramen ovale

3.Ductus arteriosus
