What are the components of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit?

The heart is responsible for pumping the blood to every cell in the body. It is also responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on oxygen. The heart is able to pump blood to both regions efficiently because there are really two separate circulatory circuits with the heart as the common link. Some authors even refer to the heart as two separate hearts, a right heart in the pulmonary circuit and left heart in the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary arteries, goes to the lungs, and returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.

The components of the pulmonary circuit include the right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary capillaries, and pulmonary veins. This circuit carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
The components of the systemic circuit include the left ventricle, aorta, systemic arteries, systemic capillaries, and systemic veins. This circuit carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?
The pulmonary circuit is blood flow movements from the pulmonary trunk to the left atrium...while the systemic circuit is a continuation from the left atrium all the way to the right atrium.......... Disclaimer [research for detailed blood movements in pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit if this isn't enough].
What are the two kinds of blood circuit?
Veins and Arteries, I believe is what you are asking about. Arteries carry freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs; veins return the 'spent' blood to the lungs for a recharge. Arteries carry greater blood pressure. The two major blood circuit are the Pulmonary Circuit which is the circuit that runs through the lungs and the Systemic Circuit, Which is the circuit that takes the blood through the body.
The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?
Pulmonary artery/Systemic veins PCO2 = 45 PO2 = 40 Pulmonary vein/Systemic arteries PCO2 = 40 PO2 = 100
What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?
Pulmonary circulation is the exchange of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation is the the exchange of blood between the heart and the body overall
How pulmonary system and systemic system are differ from each other?
The pulmonary system goes from heart to lungs to heart while the systemic system goes from heart to body to heart
What's the blood to systemic arteries?
There is more blood in the systemic circuit than the pulmonary circuit. Even the arterial portion of the systemic circuit is larger than the entire pulmonary circuit, because the pulmonary circuit only delivers blood to the lungs, and the systemic circuit supplies the rest of the body.
Is the aorta part of the pulmonary circuit?
No, the aorta is part of the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the pulmonary artery and vein.
What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?

Two major divisions of the circulatory system?
Pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit.
What is the large vessel that brings blood to the heart?
From the systemic circuit (superior/ inferior vena cava) or the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary vein)?
Which blood circuit is associated with the right side of the heart?
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
What is the flow of blood to the tissues of the heart?
coronary circulation
The blood vessels to the lungs and back are collectively known as the?
This is called the pulmonary circuit. In and out to the body is called the systemic circuit.
What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?
Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.
What are the three major circuits of the blood?
Systemic circuit- blood flow in the body Coronary circuit- blood flow in the heart Pulmonary circuit - blood flow in the lungs
