Description:
Pulmonary Circuit. Blood exiting from the right ventricle flows into the pulmonary trunk, which bifurcates into the two pulmonary arteries. These vessels branch to supply blood to the pulmonary capillaries, where gas exchange occurs within the lung alveoli. Blood returns via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 20.23.
