While I can't physically draw images, I can describe how you can visualize and label pulmonary and systemic blood circulation in a way that you can create your own diagrams. Here's how you can represent them:
### Pulmonary Circulation
1. **Right Atrium**: This is where deoxygenated blood from the body enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
2. **Right Ventricle**: Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle.
3. **Pulmonary Arteries**: The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary arteries, which carry the deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
4. **Lungs**: In the lungs, blood releases carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen.
5. **Pulmonary Veins**: The newly oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
6. **Left Atrium**: Blood enters the left atrium, completing the pulmonary circuit.
### Systemic Circulation
1. **Left Atrium**: Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.
2. **Left Ventricle**: Blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
3. **Aorta**: The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta, the body's main artery.
4. **Body**: The aorta branches out, supplying oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Tissues absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
5. **Superior and Inferior Vena Cavae**: Deoxygenated blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
6. **Right Atrium**: Blood enters the right atrium, completing the systemic circuit.
### Diagram Instructions
1. **Draw a Heart**: Start with a simple outline of the heart.
2. **Label Chambers**: Label the four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
3. **Arrows for Circulation**: Use arrows to indicate the direction of blood flow:
- For the pulmonary circuit, show blood moving from the right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium.
- For the systemic circuit, show blood moving from the left atrium → left ventricle → aorta → body → vena cavae → right atrium.
4. **Color Code**: You might use blue for deoxygenated blood (pulmonary arteries and systemic veins) and red for oxygenated blood (pulmonary veins and systemic arteries).
With this format, you can create a clear and informative diagram of both the pulmonary and systemic blood circulation.
