A companyâs inventory turnover ratio refers to how quickly goods enter and leave storage at the business. Itâs most often used in relation to companies that deal in perishable goods, such as foodstuffs, or high-demand retail items. Itâs easy to calculate in theory, but itâs not always easy to interpret.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that is responsible for vision. Blood circulation to most of the retina's surface is primarily through one artery and one vein. If either blood vessel or one of their smaller branches is blocked, blood circulation to the retina can be significantly disrupted. The blockage is called an occlusion.
Pathway of Blood through the Pulmonary and Systemic Circuits. Humans have a closed circulatory system, meaning that blood is confined within the chambers of the heart and blood vessels. The blood is pumped by the muscular heart and continuously flows through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. In humans, the right side of the heart pushes blood through the pulmonary circuit so that it can be oxygenated in the lungs. The left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body via the systemic circuit. Click on the buttons to review the pathway of blood flow in the pulmonary and systemic circuits.
