Lungenblutfluss

Lungenblutfluss refers to the circulation of blood through the lungs. This process is a critical component of the cardiovascular system, specifically the pulmonary circulation. In this circuit, deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Within the lungs, the blood travels through a network of capillaries that surround the alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. Here, carbon dioxide is released from the blood and oxygen from inhaled air is absorbed into the blood. This newly oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins. The entire system is designed to efficiently transfer oxygen to the body's tissues and remove carbon dioxide. Abnormalities in Lungenblutfluss can lead to various respiratory and cardiac conditions, impacting the body's ability to oxygenate blood effectively. Factors such as blood clots, inflammation, or structural heart defects can impede or alter the normal flow of blood through the lungs. Monitoring and understanding Lungenblutfluss is therefore essential for diagnosing and managing a range of health issues.
