Oxygenated blood leaving the alveolar capillaries of the lungs is transported to the kidneys to supply renal tissue. Arrange the following anatomical structures in the correct sequence through which a red blood cell travels along this vascular pathway.
- 1Pulmonary veins
- 2Left atrium
- 3Left ventricle
- 4Aorta
- 5Renal artery
Cevap
The correct physiological sequence is: Pulmonary veins → Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta → Renal artery.
Oxygenated blood from the pulmonary capillaries drains into the pulmonary veins, entering the left atrium of the heart. It flows into the left ventricle, which pumps it under high pressure into the aorta. The aorta distributes oxygenated blood throughout the body via systemic arteries, branching into the renal artery to supply the kidney.
