  2. Metastrongylus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastrongylus

    The cycle is completed by the pig eating the earthworm. Infection, therefore, only occurs where pigs have access to earthworms, for example, in outdoor production. [1] The larvae from the earthworm penetrate the intestine and migrate via the lymph nodes and blood vessels to the lungs, undergoing two more larval stages in the process. The ...

  3. Pulmonary vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_vein

    The peripheral feeding veins do not follow the bronchial tree. They run between the pulmonary segments from which they drain the blood. [1] At the root of the lung, the right superior pulmonary vein lies in front of and a little below the pulmonary artery; the inferior is situated at the lowest part of the lung hilum.

  4. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Blood vessels function to transport blood to an animal's body tissues. In general, arteries and arterioles transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body and its organs, and veins and venules transport deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. Blood vessels also circulate blood throughout the circulatory system.

  6. Pulmonary artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_artery

    A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs.The largest pulmonary artery is the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk from the heart, and the smallest ones are the arterioles, which lead to the capillaries that surround the pulmonary alveoli.

  7. Vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein

    In the systemic circulation the return is of deoxygenated blood from the organs and tissues of the body, and in the pulmonary circulation the pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Almost 70% of the blood in the body is in the veins, and almost 75% of this blood is in the small veins and venules. [7]

  8. Pulmonary circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_circulation

    De-oxygenated blood leaves the heart, goes to the lungs, and then enters back into the heart. [2] De-oxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. [2] From the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve) into the right ventricle.

  9. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and Latin vascula meaning vessels).
