Systemic circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Arteries always take blood away from the heart, regardless of their oxygenation, and veins always bring blood back. In general, arteries bring oxygenated blood to the tissues; veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In the case of the pulmonary vessels, however, the oxygenation is reversed: the pulmonary artery takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and oxygenated blood is pumped back through the pulmonary vein to the heart. As blood circulates through the body, oxygen and nutrients diffuse from the blood into cells surrounding the capillaries, and carbon dioxide diffuses into the blood from the capillary cells.
The release of oxygen from red blood cells or erythrocytes is regulated in mammals. It increases with an increase of carbon dioxide in tissues, an increase in temperature, or a decrease in pH. Such characteristics are exhibited by tissues undergoing high metabolism, as they require increased levels of oxygen.
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.
De-oxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart and flows into the right ventricle where it is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Pulmonary veins return the now oxygen-rich blood to the heart, where it enters the left atrium before flowing into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle the oxygen-rich blood is pumped out via the aorta, and on to the rest of the body.
The Coronary circulatory system provides a blood supply to the heart.

The circulatory system is made up of two main pathways. These are the systemic circulation and the pulmonary circulation.
Which organ is bypassed in the special circulation pathways of a fetus?
The liver is partialy bypassed
How many pathways are there in a parallel circuit witn theree bulbs?
If all three bulbs are in parallel, then there are three current pathways.

What are the three major branches of the systemic circulation?
The systemic circulation includes three parts. The coronary circulation, the hepaticportal circulation and the renal circulation
What the three types of circulation?

Are they three clotting pathways?
The coagulation cascade is classically divided into three pathways. The tissue factor (formerly known as the extrinsic) and the contact activation (formerly known as the intrinsic) pathways both activate the final common pathway of factor X, thrombin and fibrin.
The three major parts of circulatory system?
The SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION transfers oxygenated blood from a central pump (the heart) to all of the body tissues (systemic arterial system) and returns deoxygenated blood with a high carbon dioxide content from the tissues to the central pump (systemic venous system). The PULMONARY CIRCULATION is where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the blood and alveolar air occurs. The PORTAL CIRCULATION normally is only one capillary bed for each branch of a circuit, however, there are a few instances where there are two capillary beds, one after each other, in series. hope this helps^_^
How many circulation pathways do a fishes have?
every organ of fishes have a pathway of blood , so the pathway of circulation of fishes are depend on how many organ they have because not all the fish have the same structure some of them may have the organ which others dont... hope to help
Are anabolic pathways convergent pathways?
Most anabolic pathways are divergent, while catabolic pathways are convergent.

The circulation cycle of tropical air is called?
The circulation of tropical air in referred to as a trade wind. The three circulation cells are Hadley, Polar, and Ferrell.
