BLOOD CIRCULATION, ILLUSTRATION
Cardiac revolution : the ventricular systole. The blood is impelled outside the heart due to the contraction of the ventricles. The oxygenated blood (in red) passes from the left ventricle to the aorta, after the opening of the aortic valve (aortic sigmoids), to irrigate the entire body. The non-oxygenated blood (in blue) passes from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries, after the opening of the pulmonary valve (pulmonary sigmoids), to be oxygenated in the lung. This image is part of a series on cardiac revolution. See. Images 0322807, 0322907, 0323007, 0323707 and 0323807 for the entire cycle, 0323107 and 0323207 for the notion of right heart / left heart, 0323407 for the auricular systole and 0323507 for the ventricular diastole.
