Practice Question

A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about pulmonary circulation. The nurse should include that blood flows from the heart to the lungs from the right ventricle starting from which of the following locations?

Answer Choices:

A. Pulmonary artery ✓ Correct Answer

B. Pulmonary veins

C. Left ventricle

D. Left atrium

Correct Answer:

Pulmonary artery

Rationale:

💨The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation.

🩸This is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood in the adult body.

💁‍♂️Pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the left atrium, not the lungs.

🔁The left heart structures are involved in systemic, not pulmonary, circulation.

📌core message

Pulmonary circulation starts when the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery.
