The scientist physician Ala’uddin ibn Al.Hassan Al.Dimashqi ibn Al.Nafees (born in the Levent 1210 AD) was the first to describe the pulmonary circulation. That was mentioned in his book "Commentary on Anatomy in Avicenna’s Canon". 7. How did the world know the real discoverer?

lungs for new oxygen; the left side of the heart receives blood rich in oxygen from the lungs and pumps it through the arteries to the various parts of the body. Circulation begins early in fetal life. It is estimated that a given portion of the blood completes its course of circulation in approximately 30 seconds. Pulmonary circulation is where the blood from the entire body is transported to the right auricle through two large veins. The superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. When the

The heart pumps blood to 9 liters per day‚ making from 60 to 160 beats per minute. The heart is covered with a dense fibrous membrane - the pericardium‚ forming serous cavity filled with liquid‚ which prevents

pathways: the pulmonary pathway and the systemic pathway. The blood flowing in the pulmonary pathway is deoxygenated‚ and it delivers this blood to the lungs to be oxygenated again. The blood flowing in the systemic pathway leaves the lungs full of oxygen and flows through the heart to be delivered to the body tissues.

Pulmonary circulation: Pulmonary circulation transports deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs where the blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart.

within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles relax and fill. The cardiac cycle cannot be described as a linear series of events associated with the flow of blood through the four chambers. One can not accurately describe the cardiac cycle by simply tracing the path of blood from the right atrium‚ into the right ventricle‚ into the pulmonary circulation‚ the venous pulmonary return to the left atrium
