pulmatilanteet

Pulmatilanteet, also known as pulmonary arteries, are a group of arteries that carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. They are part of the pulmonary circulation system, which is responsible for oxygenating the blood before it is returned to the heart and distributed to the rest of the body. The pulmonary arteries branch into smaller arteries and eventually into capillaries, where the exchange of gases occurs. After the blood is oxygenated, it is returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins, which then carry it to the left atrium. Pulmatilanteet play a crucial role in the body's respiratory system, ensuring that oxygen is efficiently delivered to the tissues and organs.
