BLOOD CIRCULATION, ILLUSTRATION
Cardiac revolution. The oxygenated blood (in red) enters through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium (auricular systole), then passes into the left ventricle (ventricular diastole), and is then expelled towards the organs via the aorta (ventricular systole). The desoxygenated blood (in blue) enters through the vena cavae superior and inferior into the right atrium (auricular systole), then passes into the right ventricle (ventricular diastole), and is then expelled towards the lungs via the pulmonary artery (ventricular systole). This image is part of a series on cardiac revolution. See. images 0322807, 0322907, 0323707 and 0323807 for the entire cycle, 0323107 and 0323207 for the notion of right heart / left heart, 0323407 for the auricular systole, 0323507 for the ventricular diastole and 0323607 for the ventricular systole.
