The pulmonary circulation, also known as the small circulation or pulmonary circulation, is the circulation between the heart and the lungs. Dirty blood from the upper and lower limbs, head, neck and trunk empties into the right atrium of the heart. From here, deoxygenated blood is transferred to the right ventricle and travels to the [...]

The pulmonary circulation, also known as the small circulation or pulmonary circulation, is the circulation between the heart and the lungs. Dirty blood from the upper and lower limbs, head, neck and trunk empties into the right atrium of the heart. From here, deoxygenated blood is transferred to the right ventricle and travels to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk. In the lungs, it becomes rich in oxygen at the alveolar level and returns to the left atrium of the heart via pulmonary veins. This cycle is called pulmonary circulation. The right side of the heart is involved in the pulmonary circulation. For this reason, the right heart is morphologically examined in the pulmonary circulation. In the pulmonary circulation, the lung and heart serve as the main organs. In addition, the organs of the respiratory system take part in the oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle in the circulation. The nose is the first organ of the respiratory system and the oxygen taken in passes from the nose to the pharynx. Oxygen is transmitted from the pharynx to the larynx and then to the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lower segments and to the units of the lung responsible for gas exchange. After the deoxygenated blood transported from the right heart to the lung is oxygenated here, the resulting carbon dioxide is discharged into the external environment by following the same path in reverse. After the deoxygenated blood, which is transported from the right heart to the lungs, is oxygenated here, the resulting carbon dioxide is excreted into the external environment by following the same path in reverse. In other words, carbon dioxide collected from the lower segments of the lungs is discharged into the atmosphere using the order of bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx and nose.

3Dr. Gulnihal Deniz completed her undergraduate studies in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, earning master’s and doctoral degrees in Medical Anatomy. With eight years of experience in the private sector, she transitioned to a specialist role as a physiotherapist within the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Fırat University, where she dedicated ten years to clinical practice and research. Since 2021, Dr. Deniz has been an Assistant Professor Doctor at Erzurum Technical University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Her academic contributions include numerous publications and numerous national and international conferences. Additionally, she has edited many books and authored chapters. Dr. Deniz’s research interests focus on radiological anatomy, gait analysis, spatiotemporal parameters, and brain imaging. She has particularly delved into anatomical variations associated with various diseases, employing advanced imaging techniques to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms. Her academic pursuits aim to bridge the gap between anatomical sciences and clinical applications, enhancing understanding of disease processes and informing therapeutic interventions in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Dr. Deniz’s dedication to interdisciplinary research underscores her commitment to advancing healthcare practices and educating future professionals in the field.

3Dr Derya Öztürk Söylemez completed her undergraduate education in the field of nursing. After graduation, she worked as a nurse in a university hospital for 10 years. Meanwhile, Dr Ozturk Soylemez, who continued her master’s and doctoral education, was appointed as a lecturer at Sinop University in 2018. After completing his doctoral education last year, he continues to work as a Dr. Lecturer. Dr Öztürk Söylemez, who attended many conferences and courses during his doctorate and master’s education, is interested in radiological anatomy. She has attended many courses in radiological anatomy. In addition, she wrote her graduation thesis on neurodegenerative diseases. And in the future, she plans to intensify her studies on neurodegenerative diseases and radiological anatomy.
