Question
Which series shows the order in which blood passes through the pulmonary circulation?A.Vein → venule → capillary → arteriole → arteryB.Venule → vein → capillary → artery → arterioleC.Arteriole → artery → capillary → vein → venuleD.Artery → arteriole → capillary → venule → vein
Solution
The correct order in which blood passes through the pulmonary circulation is D. Artery → arteriole → capillary → venule → vein.
Here's the step-by-step process:
- Blood leaves the heart and is pumped into the pulmonary artery.
- The pulmonary artery branches into smaller arterioles.
- The arterioles further divide into capillaries, which are the smallest and thinnest blood vessels. It's in the capillaries where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs.
- The oxygenated blood then moves into venules, which are small veins that collect blood from the capillaries.
- The venules join to form veins, which carry the oxygenated blood back to the heart.
