Tüdartérián

Tüdartérián refers to the main artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. This vessel is also known as the pulmonary artery. It arises from the superior aspect of the right ventricle and bifurcates shortly after its origin into the left and right pulmonary arteries, which lead to the respective lungs. Within the lungs, the pulmonary artery branches into smaller arterioles and capillaries, where gas exchange occurs, allowing carbon dioxide to be released from the blood and oxygen to be absorbed. The oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary veins. The presence of a tüdartérián is a critical component of the circulatory system, ensuring that blood is effectively oxygenated before being pumped to the rest of the body. Conditions affecting the tüdartérián can lead to significant health problems, including pulmonary hypertension and other cardiovascular issues. Its unique role in carrying deoxygenated blood, unlike most other arteries that carry oxygenated blood, distinguishes it within the arterial system.
