     • The right side of your heart takes in blood from your body and pumps it to your lungs. Your lungs restore blood with oxygen and send it back to the left side of your heart. Your aortic valve opens so that blood can flow from the left side of your heart to your aorta. Your aorta pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body.

   The aorta is the main vessel through which oxygen-rich blood travels from the heart to the rest of the body. It also delivers nutrients and hormones. The aorta’s branches ensure these substances reach internal organs and nearby supporting tissue.

   The pulmonary valve connects your right ventricle and main pulmonary artery (large artery that carries blood to your lungs). The mitral valve connects your left atrium and left ventricle. The aortic valve connects your left ventricle and aorta (large artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body).

   • There Are Two Types of Circulation: Pulmonary Circulation and Systemic Circulation. Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs.
   • The Heart Powers Both Types of Circulation. The heart pumps oxygenated blood out of the left ventricle and into the aorta to begin systemic circulation.
   • The Circulatory System Works in Tandem with the Respiratory System. The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to sustain the body with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
   • The Pulmonary Loop Only Transports Blood Between the Heart and Lungs. In the pulmonary loop, deoxygenated blood exits the right ventricle of the heart and passes through the pulmonary trunk.

   Nov 9, 2024 · The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ and tissue. It begins at the left ventricle, extends upward through the chest to form an arch, and continues downward, eventually branching into the iliac arteries just above the pelvis.

   Your pulmonary circuit sends blood between your heart and lungs. First, oxygen-poor blood travels from your heart to your lungs. There, it receives oxygen and gets rid of waste. This refreshed blood then travels back to your heart.
