Blood circulation diagram -
The left heart pumps oxygenated blood returned from the lungs to the rest of the body in the systemic circulation. The right heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs in the pulmonary circulation.
In the human heart there is one atrium and one ventricle for each circulation, and with both a systemic and a pulmonary circulation there are four chambers in total: left atrium , left ventricle , right atrium and right ventricle. The right atrium is the upper chamber of the right side of the heart.
The blood that is returned to the right atrium is deoxygenated poor in oxygen and passed into the right ventricle to be pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs for re-oxygenation and removal of carbon dioxide.
The left atrium receives newly oxygenated blood from the lungs as well as the pulmonary vein which is passed into the strong left ventricle to be pumped through the aorta to the different organs of the body.
The pulmonary circulation is the part of the circulatory system in which oxygen-depleted blood is pumped away from the heart, via the pulmonary artery , to the lungs and returned, oxygenated, to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
Oxygen-deprived blood from the superior and inferior vena cava enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle, from which it is then pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, whereby CO 2 is released from the blood, and oxygen is absorbed. The pulmonary vein returns the now oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. A separate circuit from the systemic circulation, the bronchial circulation supplies blood to the tissue of the larger airways of the lung.
The systemic circulation is a circuit loop that delivers oxygenated blood from the left heart to the rest of the body through the aorta. Deoxygenated blood is returned in the systemic circulation to the right heart via two large veins, the inferior vena cava and superior vena cava , where it is pumped from the right atrium into the pulmonary circulation for oxygenation.
The systemic circulation can also be defined as having two parts — a macrocirculation and a microcirculation. The blood vessels of the circulatory system are the arteries , veins , and capillaries.
The large arteries and veins that take blood to, and away from the heart are known as the great vessels. Oxygenated blood enters the systemic circulation when leaving the left ventricle, via the aortic semilunar valve. The aorta arches and gives branches supplying the upper part of the body after passing through the aortic opening of the diaphragm at the level of thoracic ten vertebra, it enters the abdomen.
The walls of the aorta are elastic. This elasticity helps to maintain the blood pressure throughout the body. As the aorta branches into smaller arteries, their elasticity goes on decreasing and their compliance goes on increasing. Arteries branch into small passages called arterioles and then into the capillaries.
Capillaries merge into venules , which merge into veins. These two large veins empty into the right atrium of the heart. The general rule is that arteries from the heart branch out into capillaries, which collect into veins leading back to the heart.
Portal veins are a slight exception to this. In humans, the only significant example is the hepatic portal vein which combines from capillaries around the gastrointestinal tract where the blood absorbs the various products of digestion; rather than leading directly back to the heart, the hepatic portal vein branches into a second capillary system in the liver.
The heart itself is supplied with oxygen and nutrients through a small "loop" of the systemic circulation and derives very little from the blood contained within the four chambers. The coronary circulation system provides a blood supply to the heart muscle itself.
The coronary circulation begins near the origin of the aorta by two coronary arteries : the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. After nourishing the heart muscle, blood returns through the coronary veins into the coronary sinus and from this one into the right atrium.
Backflow of blood through its opening during atrial systole is prevented by the Thebesian valve. The smallest cardiac veins drain directly into the heart chambers. The brain has a dual blood supply, an anterior and a posterior circulation from arteries at its front and back.
The anterior circulation arises from the internal carotid arteries to supply the front of the brain. The posterior circulation arises from the vertebral arteries , to supply the back of the brain and brainstem. The circulation from the front and the back join anastomise at the circle of Willis.
The neurovascular unit , composed of various cells and vasculature channels within the brain, regulates the flow of blood to activated neurons in order to satisfy their high energy demands. It branches from the abdominal aorta and returns blood to the ascending inferior vena cava.
The development of the circulatory system starts with vasculogenesis in the embryo. The human arterial and venous systems develop from different areas in the embryo. The arterial system develops mainly from the aortic arches , six pairs of arches that develop on the upper part of the embryo.
The venous system arises from three bilateral veins during weeks 4 — 8 of embryogenesis. Fetal circulation begins within the 8th week of development. Fetal circulation does not include the lungs, which are bypassed via the truncus arteriosus.
Before birth the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord. The human arterial system originates from the aortic arches and from the dorsal aortae starting from week 4 of embryonic life.
The first and second aortic arches regress and form only the maxillary arteries and stapedial arteries respectively.
The arterial system itself arises from aortic arches 3, 4 and 6 aortic arch 5 completely regresses. The dorsal aortae, present on the dorsal side of the embryo, are initially present on both sides of the embryo.
They later fuse to form the basis for the aorta itself. Approximately thirty smaller arteries branch from this at the back and sides. These branches form the intercostal arteries , arteries of the arms and legs, lumbar arteries and the lateral sacral arteries.
Branches to the sides of the aorta will form the definitive renal , suprarenal and gonadal arteries. Finally, branches at the front of the aorta consist of the vitelline arteries and umbilical arteries.
The vitelline arteries form the celiac , superior and inferior mesenteric arteries of the gastrointestinal tract. After birth, the umbilical arteries will form the internal iliac arteries. The human venous system develops mainly from the vitelline veins , the umbilical veins and the cardinal veins , all of which empty into the sinus venosus.
About About 1. The hemoglobin molecule is the primary transporter of oxygen in vertebrates. Many diseases affect the circulatory system. These include a number of cardiovascular diseases , affecting the heart and blood vessels; hematologic diseases that affect the blood, such as anemia , and lymphatic diseases affecting the lymphatic system.
Vascular surgeons focus on the blood vessels. Many of these diseases are called " lifestyle diseases " because they develop over time and are related to a person's exercise habits, diet, whether they smoke, and other lifestyle choices a person makes.
Atherosclerosis is the precursor to many of these diseases. It is where small atheromatous plaques build up in the walls of medium and large arteries. This may eventually grow or rupture to occlude the arteries. It is also a risk factor for acute coronary syndromes , which are diseases that are characterised by a sudden deficit of oxygenated blood to the heart tissue.
Atherosclerosis is also associated with problems such as aneurysm formation or splitting "dissection" of arteries. Another major cardiovascular disease involves the creation of a clot, called a "thrombus". These can originate in veins or arteries.
Deep venous thrombosis , which mostly occurs in the legs, is one cause of clots in the veins of the legs, particularly when a person has been stationary for a long time. These clots may embolise , meaning travel to another location in the body.
The results of this may include pulmonary embolus , transient ischaemic attacks , or stroke. Cardiovascular diseases may also be congenital in nature, such as heart defects or persistent fetal circulation , where the circulatory changes that are supposed to happen after birth do not.
Not all congenital changes to the circulatory system are associated with diseases, a large number are anatomical variations. The function and health of the circulatory system and its parts are measured in a variety of manual and automated ways. These include simple methods such as those that are part of the cardiovascular examination , including the taking of a person's pulse as an indicator of a person's heart rate , the taking of blood pressure through a sphygmomanometer or the use of a stethoscope to listen to the heart for murmurs which may indicate problems with the heart's valves.
An electrocardiogram can also be used to evaluate the way in which electricity is conducted through the heart. Other more invasive means can also be used.
A cannula or catheter inserted into an artery may be used to measure pulse pressure or pulmonary wedge pressures. Angiography, which involves injecting a dye into an artery to visualise an arterial tree, can be used in the heart coronary angiography or brain.
At the same time as the arteries are visualised, blockages or narrowings may be fixed through the insertion of stents , and active bleeds may be managed by the insertion of coils.
An MRI may be used to image arteries, called an MRI angiogram. For evaluation of the blood supply to the lungs a CT pulmonary angiogram may be used.
Vascular ultrasonography may be used to investigate vascular diseases affecting the venous system and the arterial system including the diagnosis of stenosis , thrombosis or venous insufficiency. An intravascular ultrasound using a catheter is also an option.
While humans, as well as other vertebrates , have a closed blood circulatory system meaning that the blood never leaves the network of arteries, veins and capillaries , some invertebrate groups have an open circulatory system containing a heart but limited blood vessels.
The most primitive, diploblastic animal phyla lack circulatory systems. An additional transport system, the lymphatic system, which is only found in animals with a closed blood circulation, is an open system providing an accessory route for excess interstitial fluid to be returned to the blood.
The blood vascular system first appeared probably in an ancestor of the triploblasts over million years ago, overcoming the time-distance constraints of diffusion, while endothelium evolved in an ancestral vertebrate some — million years ago.
In arthropods , the open circulatory system is a system in which a fluid in a cavity called the hemocoel bathes the organs directly with oxygen and nutrients, with there being no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid; this combined fluid is called hemolymph or haemolymph.
When the heart relaxes, blood is drawn back toward the heart through open-ended pores ostia. Hemolymph fills all of the interior hemocoel of the body and surrounds all cells.
Hemolymph is composed of water , inorganic salts mostly sodium , chloride , potassium , magnesium , and calcium , and organic compounds mostly carbohydrates, proteins , and lipids. The primary oxygen transporter molecule is hemocyanin. There are free-floating cells, the hemocytes , within the hemolymph.
They play a role in the arthropod immune system. The circulatory systems of all vertebrates, as well as of annelids for example, earthworms and cephalopods squids , octopuses and relatives always keep their circulating blood enclosed within heart chambers or blood vessels and are classified as closed , just as in humans.
Still, the systems of fish , amphibians , reptiles , and birds show various stages of the evolution of the circulatory system. In fish, the system has only one circuit, with the blood being pumped through the capillaries of the gills and on to the capillaries of the body tissues.
This is known as single cycle circulation. The heart of fish is, therefore, only a single pump consisting of two chambers. In amphibians and most reptiles, a double circulatory system is used, but the heart is not always completely separated into two pumps.
Amphibians have a three-chambered heart. In reptiles, the ventricular septum of the heart is incomplete and the pulmonary artery is equipped with a sphincter muscle.
This allows a second possible route of blood flow. Instead of blood flowing through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, the sphincter may be contracted to divert this blood flow through the incomplete ventricular septum into the left ventricle and out through the aorta.
This means the blood flows from the capillaries to the heart and back to the capillaries instead of to the lungs. This process is useful to ectothermic cold-blooded animals in the regulation of their body temperature.
Mammals, birds and crocodilians show complete separation of the heart into two pumps, for a total of four heart chambers; it is thought that the four-chambered heart of birds and crocodilians evolved independently from that of mammals.
Circulatory systems are absent in some animals, including flatworms. Their body cavity has no lining or enclosed fluid. Instead, a muscular pharynx leads to an extensively branched digestive system that facilitates direct diffusion of nutrients to all cells.
The flatworm's dorso-ventrally flattened body shape also restricts the distance of any cell from the digestive system or the exterior of the organism.
Oxygen can diffuse from the surrounding water into the cells, and carbon dioxide can diffuse out. Consequently, every cell is able to obtain nutrients, water and oxygen without the need of a transport system.
Some animals, such as jellyfish , have more extensive branching from their gastrovascular cavity which functions as both a place of digestion and a form of circulation , this branching allows for bodily fluids to reach the outer layers, since the digestion begins in the inner layers.
The earliest known writings on the circulatory system are found in the Ebers Papyrus 16th century BCE , an ancient Egyptian medical papyrus containing over prescriptions and remedies, both physical and spiritual.
In the papyrus , it acknowledges the connection of the heart to the arteries. The Egyptians thought air came in through the mouth and into the lungs and heart. From the heart, the air travelled to every member through the arteries. Although this concept of the circulatory system is only partially correct, it represents one of the earliest accounts of scientific thought.
In the 6th century BCE, the knowledge of circulation of vital fluids through the body was known to the Ayurvedic physician Sushruta in ancient India. However, their function was not properly understood then. Because blood pools in the veins after death, arteries look empty. Ancient anatomists assumed they were filled with air and that they were for the transport of air.
The Greek physician , Herophilus , distinguished veins from arteries but thought that the pulse was a property of arteries themselves. Greek anatomist Erasistratus observed that arteries that were cut during life bleed. He ascribed the fact to the phenomenon that air escaping from an artery is replaced with blood that enters between veins and arteries by very small vessels.
Thus he apparently postulated capillaries but with reversed flow of blood. In 2nd-century AD Rome , the Greek physician Galen knew that blood vessels carried blood and identified venous dark red and arterial brighter and thinner blood, each with distinct and separate functions.
Growth and energy were derived from venous blood created in the liver from chyle, while arterial blood gave vitality by containing pneuma air and originated in the heart. Blood flowed from both creating organs to all parts of the body where it was consumed and there was no return of blood to the heart or liver.
The heart did not pump blood around, the heart's motion sucked blood in during diastole and the blood moved by the pulsation of the arteries themselves.
Galen believed that the arterial blood was created by venous blood passing from the left ventricle to the right by passing through 'pores' in the interventricular septum, air passed from the lungs via the pulmonary artery to the left side of the heart.
As the arterial blood was created 'sooty' vapors were created and passed to the lungs also via the pulmonary artery to be exhaled. In , The Canon of Medicine by the Persian physician , Avicenna , "erroneously accepted the Greek notion regarding the existence of a hole in the ventricular septum by which the blood traveled between the ventricles.
Thus, expansion : pause : contraction : pause. which takes the form of alternate expansion and contraction. In , the Arabian physician , Ibn al-Nafis described the process of pulmonary circulation in greater, more accurate detail than his predecessors, though he believed, as they did, in the notion of vital spirit pneuma , which he believed was formed in the left ventricle.
Ibn al-Nafis stated in his Commentary on Anatomy in Avicenna's Canon :. the blood from the right chamber of the heart must arrive at the left chamber but there is no direct pathway between them. The thick septum of the heart is not perforated and does not have visible pores as some people thought or invisible pores as Galen thought.
The blood from the right chamber must flow through the vena arteriosa pulmonary artery to the lungs, spread through its substances, be mingled there with air, pass through the arteria venosa pulmonary vein to reach the left chamber of the heart and there form the vital spirit In addition, Ibn al-Nafis had an insight into what would become a larger theory of the capillary circulation.
He stated that "there must be small communications or pores manafidh in Arabic between the pulmonary artery and vein," a prediction that preceded the discovery of the capillary system by more than years.
Michael Servetus was the first European to describe the function of pulmonary circulation, although his achievement was not widely recognized at the time, for a few reasons.
He firstly described it in the "Manuscript of Paris" [34] [35] near , but this work was never published. And later he published this description, but in a theological treatise, Christianismi Restitutio , not in a book on medicine. Only three copies of the book survived but these remained hidden for decades, the rest were burned shortly after its publication in because of persecution of Servetus by religious authorities.
A better known discovery of pulmonary circulation was by Vesalius 's successor at Padua , Realdo Colombo , in Finally, the English physician William Harvey , a pupil of Hieronymus Fabricius who had earlier described the valves of the veins without recognizing their function , performed a sequence of experiments and published his Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus in , which "demonstrated that there had to be a direct connection between the venous and arterial systems throughout the body, and not just the lungs.
Most importantly, he argued that the beat of the heart produced a continuous circulation of blood through minute connections at the extremities of the body.
This is a conceptual leap that was quite different from Ibn al-Nafis' refinement of the anatomy and bloodflow in the heart and lungs.
However, Harvey was not able to identify the capillary system connecting arteries and veins; these were later discovered by Marcello Malpighi in In , André Frédéric Cournand , Werner Forssmann and Dickinson W. Richards were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine "for their discoveries concerning heart catheterization and pathological changes in the circulatory system.
In the s, Diana McSherry developed computer-based systems to create images of the circulatory system and heart without the need for surgery. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk.

Veins can appear blue as we see them through our skin, leading some people to believe that deoxygenated blood is blue. However, this is not the case! Blood only appears blue because of the way tissues absorb light and our eyes see color.
Although oxygen does have an effect on the brightness of the blood more oxygen makes a brighter red, less makes it darker , blood is never actually blue. Want to join the conversation? Log in.

Blood in need of oxygen enters heart called deoxygenated passes from the right atrium to the right ventricle then send it to the lungs through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery,Fresh blood full of oxygen leaves the lungs and comes back to the heart in the pulmonary veins.
This oxygen-rich blood enters the left atrium — the top left chamber of the heart blood passes from left atrium to left ventricle The left ventricle relaxes and fills up with blood before squeezing and pumping the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve into the aorta — the main artery that carries blood to your body.
The muscle wall of the left ventricle is very thick because it has to pump blood around the whole body. blood on the right side vs. blood on the left side of the heart.
Revan Rangotis. Blood on the right is deoxygenated on its way to the lungs through the pulmonary artery whereas blood on the left is oxygenated on its way to the rest of the body through the aorta.
Posted 3 years ago. What is a heart attack and what does it have to do with the circulatory system? Direct link to. If oxygenated blood doesn't reach the heart due to blocks or clots in arteries, then the muscle cells of the heart weaken which leads to what we call the heart attack.
Since it is in the circulatory system where the blockage takes place, it is linked to the causes for a heart attack. Posted 8 months ago. Some people just say it is lacking oxygens. Posted 6 months ago. Blood that is well-oxygenated tends to appear bright red because oxygen binds to hemoglobin, changing its molecular structure and causing it to reflect light in a way that appears red.
Deoxygenated blood, on the other hand, has a darker, bluish-red appearance due to the different way light interacts with the altered hemoglobin molecule.
