    cava‚ while the left atrium receives blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins‚ two from the right lung and two from the left lung. However‚ the right and left ventricles forms the two lower cardiac chambers that collect blood from the upper chambers pumping it out of the heart. As follows‚ the right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary trunk‚ which divides it to form the left and right pulmonary arteries that lead to the lungs while the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood

    experiment‚ several physiological parameters were observed in three patients before‚ during‚ and after moderate exercise. One of these parameters was the pulmonary airflow‚ which was recorded utilizing an Airflow Transducer. This device measures airflow using slight pressure differences created by the resistance of a screen inside the device. Pulmonary airflow is the rate of movement into and out of the lungs‚ and is directly proportional to the pressure difference of the intrapulmonary pressure and

    then returns to the heart from the body through the systemic veins. It returns to the right atrium‚ and is pumped to the right ventricle. From the right ventricle the blood is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs‚ where gas exchange occurs. The blood is returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. Then it is pumped to the left ventricle to complete the circuit (1‚ 2). The pressure at which the heart pumps blood throughout the body must be able to overcome the
