Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide (CO2) is exchanged for oxygen (O2), and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. The pulmonary vasculature includes the arteries from the main pulmonary to the precapillary arterioles, the capillaries, and the vein from the capillary to the left atrium. – Wikipedia.
