Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the pulmonary circuit: It is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and returning oxygenated blood back to the heart.

Identify the starting point of the pulmonary circuit: Blood begins its journey in the right ventricle, which pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary arteries.

Trace the path to the lungs: The pulmonary arteries carry the blood to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs, and the blood becomes oxygenated.

Determine the return path to the heart: Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins.

Identify the endpoint of the pulmonary circuit: The pulmonary veins deliver the oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart, completing the circuit.
