Describe the arterial and venous circulation of the foot starting from the heart and bringing it back to the heart?
Heart pumps oxygenated blood or arterial blood through aorta.Aorta splits into arteries and then arteries split into arterioles.Arterioles then split into small narrow blood vessels called capillaries,that supply oxygenated blood to various tissues.Here the transmission of oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood between capillaries and tissues takes place.Deoxygenated blood or venous blood received by the capillaries are then passed to venules,then into the veins.The veins join to form vena cava that opens into the right atrium of heart.
Summary:
Heart(Left ventricle) -->Aorta-->Arteries-->Arteriole-->Capillaries-->Venules-->Veins-->-->Vena cava-->Heart(Right atrium)
