None of the statements are correct. Pulmonary circulation begins at the right ventricle and ends at the left atrium. Blood pressure in pulmonary capillaries is lower than 30 to 35 mmHg. Gas exchange depends on diffusion, not filtration. Pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the left atrium, not the right atrium.
