N2 - The right ventricle and the pulmonary vasculature are exquisitely working together to perform their task of oxygenation of blood. Structure and function are in many ways different from the systemic circulation, however, measurements of pressure, flow, and volume allow studying physiology in a similar way, and the same basic law governs their relations. Based on these measurements, we describe static and pulsatile hemodynamics, ventricular function, and their interaction in normal physiology. Normal values are given, and differences of the pulmonary and systemic circulation are listed.
