Pulmonary Circulation Concept Map Overview
The pulmonary circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the left atrium. A concept map of this circuit usually divides into the pulmonary arteries, the capillary beds around the alveoli, the pulmonary veins and the pressure differences that drive flow.
- Pulmonary arteries: carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
- Alveolar capillaries: site where oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves the blood
- Pulmonary veins: return oxygenated blood to the left atrium
- Pressure and resistance: low-pressure system that controls how blood flows through the lungs
Use a map like this to revise the route of blood and the role of each vessel before an exam. To build a map from your own textbook or lecture notes, try CogniGuide.

Pulmonary Circulation Questions
Common questions about the lung circuit and how to map it.
What is the main function of pulmonary circulation?
Pulmonary circulation moves deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, then returns the oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart for distribution to the body.
How does pulmonary circulation differ from systemic circulation?
Pulmonary circulation is a shorter, lower-pressure circuit that serves only the lungs. Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body and returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.
Which file types can I use to make my own circulation map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also type a topic and the AI will build a map from it.
Can I turn my pulmonary circulation map into a quiz?
Yes. Any CogniGuide map can be turned into a quiz to test yourself on the vessels and steps, and the same notes can also become flashcards.
