Blood Flow Pathway: Lungs → Heart → Right Ovary (Not Direct)
Blood does not travel directly from the lungs to the right ovary. The correct circulatory route:
- Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs → left atrium.
- Left ventricle pumps blood into aorta.
- Abdominal aorta → right ovarian artery (branch of abdominal aorta at L2 level).
- Right ovarian artery supplies the right ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus.
- Deoxygenated blood returns via right ovarian vein → inferior vena cava → right atrium.
The left ovarian artery follows a parallel path. Ovarian arteries also anastomose with uterine arteries, providing collateral flow.
