Chapter 19: Circulatory Pathways

Key Circulatory Pathways

• Pulmonary Circulation: Refers to the path of blood flow through the lungs for oxygenation.
• Systemic Circulation: Refers to the circulation of blood through the rest of the body to provide oxygen to tissues.

Important Concepts for Lecture

• Focus on understanding the basic flowchart of blood circulation.
• Blood Vessel Colors:
  • Indicates the oxygen level in the blood.
  • Blue color can indicate a vein or an artery, depending on the circulation type (pulmonary or systemic).

Lab vs. Lecture Requirements

• Lecture:
  • Understand the main circulatory pathways.
  • Know the basic blood flow as represented in the schematic flowchart.
• Lab:
  • More detailed understanding of individual blood vessels.
  • Reference materials provided, including images and extensive flowcharts, are mainly for lab use.
