Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which carriesoxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This physiologic theory of circulation was first described byWilliam Harvey. This term is opposed and contrasted to the term pulmonary circulation first proposed by Ibn al-Nafis.

It refers to the part of the circulatory system in which the blood leaves the heart, services the body's cells, and then re-enters the heart. Blood leaves through the left ventricle to the aorta, the body's largest artery. The aorta leads to smaller arteries, arterioles, and finally capillaries. Waste and carbon dioxide diffuse out of the cell into the blood and oxygen in the blood diffuses out of the blood and into the cell, blood then moves to venious capillaries, and then the vena cave: the lower inferior vena cave and the upper superior vena cave , through which the blood re-enters the heart at the right atrium.

Which part is not involved in the systematic ciculation of blood?

The lymphatic system is not directly involved in the systematic circulation of blood. While it plays a role in immune function and fluid balance, it is a separate system from the cardiovascular system responsible for circulating blood throughout the body.


What is the difference between pulmonary circulation coronary circulation and systematic circulation?

the circulation is divided into 2 circulations 1st is pulmonary circulation in which what happens is that when the pulmonary artery caring impure blood to the lungs for purification and the pure blood (oxygenated) in brought back from lungs to heart through pumonary vien, this is pulmonary circulation 2nd systematic circulation in this what happens is that the pure blood from the left ventricle is forced to all other part of the body through aorta to all the cells and tissues, after the diffusion in which stuffs are interchanged( carbon dioxide and glucose and oxygen) it is brought back to the heart through inferior or superior vena cava, this is systemic circulation Finally, the coronary circulation is the circulation of blood that feeds the heart itself, since it does not receive any oxygen from the systemic or pulmonary circulations.


Does the systematic circulation bring carbon dioxide- filled blood to the lungs?

Yes, the systemic circulation brings carbon dioxide-filled blood from the body's tissues to the lungs through the pulmonary circulation for gas exchange. Oxygen is taken up in the lungs, and carbon dioxide is released before the oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart to be pumped back out to the body.


Describe coronary circulation?

Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels that supply blood to and from the heart muscle. It's the movement of blood through the tissues of the heart.Coronary circulation is the blood that flows to feed the heart.

What are the functions of systematic coronary and pulmonary circulation?

Coronary circulation is the circulation in veins and arteries that lead to your heart and give it nutrients. Pulmonary circulation is when the heart pumps oxygen poor blood into the lungs to be filled with nutrients from oxygen. Systematic circulation is the heart pumping oxygen rich blood from the lungs and to the rest of the body, then back to the heart to repeat the process.
