As a medical professional with expertise in cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, I can explain the process of blood circulation when the right ventricle of the heart contracts.
When the
right ventricle contracts, it pumps blood into the
pulmonary artery. The
pulmonary artery is the large blood vessel that carries this oxygen-poor blood away from the heart to the
lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. This oxygen-rich blood then returns to the heart via the
pulmonary veins and enters the
left atrium. From the left atrium, it moves to the
left ventricle, which pumps it out to the rest of the body through the
aorta.
