Explanation

Pulmonary vasculature refers to the network of blood vessels in the lungs. This system is responsible for carrying blood to and from the lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the body's cells. This oxygen-rich blood is then transported back to the heart, where it is pumped to the rest of the body.
