Document Summary

Moving oxygenated blood from left heart to arteriole to capillary (organ systems in parallel); going to venules, veins then right side of the heart (with deoxygenated blood) Flow is constant throughout the circuit per beat. While each organ individually receives different flow of blood based on their metabolic demands, sum of flow going out of the heart per beat will equal to sum of flow going back to the heart for that beat. Most blood is found in small veins and venules: Flow is constant per beat throughout entire system; but volume of blood is not even throughout the system. 15% in heart/lungs; another 15% in arteries (moving away from heart towards organs); 5% (in capillaries for exchange); 65% in (veins, with 50% in small veins and venules) Vast majority of the blood is within the venous network (vast storage) Blood volume and blood pressure distribution at rest: Most of the blood is in the veins at any given time.
