Functioning of the heart -

- wherein

As the tricuspid and bicuspid valves are open, blood from the pulmonary veins and vena cava flows into the left and the right ventricle respectively through the left and right atria.

 

 

Partial pressures of these O2 and CO2 in the atmospheric air and the other sites of diffusion -

Atmospheric Air

 

- wherein

O2 : 159

CO2 : 0.3

 

 Systemic view or vena cava carries blood from tissue to right arteries
