Cardiovascular Physiology Cardiovascular Physiology Cardiovascular Physiology # I. Circulation Pulmonary Circulation: Originates in the right ventricle, pumps blood to the lungs and in the pulmonary capillaries, then returns to the heart in the left atrium. Systemic Circulation: Originates in the left ventricle, pumps blood through the aorta to the organs. The aorta branches into arteries…
