The 19 pages that link to Pulmonary circulation, each with the reason it gives.

• LungRelated: It brings carbon-dioxide-rich blood to lung capillaries and returns oxygenated blood.

• William HarveyBroader topic: Harvey treated this circuit as evidence that blood moved through the heart and lungs rather than being consumed.

• Respiratory systemRelated: It carries carbon-dioxide-rich blood to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the heart.

• Book lungCompared with: Unlike vertebrate lungs, book lungs exchange gases with hemolymph rather than blood in a pulmonary circuit.

• Pulmonary hypertensionNarrower topic: Pulmonary hypertension occurs in this circuit, rather than in the body-wide circulation.

• Venous returnCompared with: It is a separate circuit from systemic venous return, though both connect through the heart.

• Ventilation–perfusion mismatchNarrower topic: Its regional distribution supplies the capillaries involved in the mismatch.

• Circulatory systemBroader topic: It reloads blood with oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

• HeartRelated: The right side of the heart sends blood through this circuit.

• MicrocirculationRelated: Its capillaries exchange gases with alveoli rather than with ordinary tissue cells.

• Blood circulationBroader topic: This circuit sends blood to the lungs for gas exchange before returning it to the heart.

• Marcello MalpighiRelated: Malpighi examined the lung’s vessels to explain how blood passed between arteries and veins.

• Cardiovascular systemBroader topic: This loop loads blood with oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

• Michael ServetusBroader topic: Servetus described blood’s passage through the lungs in Christianismi Restitutio.

• Ibn al-NafisBroader topic: Ibn al-Nafis described this route and rejected Galen’s proposed passage through the heart’s septum.

• Hypoplastic left heart syndromeRelated: Balancing pulmonary flow against systemic flow is a central challenge in this condition.

• AngiologyRelated: Its vessels have distinct pressures and diseases from systemic circulation.

• Tricuspid atresiaNarrower topic: The defect disrupts the usual route by which blood reaches this circuit.

• Circulatory and Respiratory Physiological PhenomenaBroader topic: This circuit brings deoxygenated blood to the respiratory surface and returns oxygenated blood.
