The left side of the heart receives blood from the lungs before pumping it through the aorta and out to the rest of your body. This is referred to as the systemic circuit. After the body is nourished and oxygenated, the blood returns to the right side of the heart carrying waste and carbon dioxide to the lungs. This begins the pulmonary circuit that ends when the blood, once again, returns to the left side of the heart.

Where does Pulmonary circulation flows to and from?
Pulmonary circulation flows to left side of heart and from right side of heart.
The left side of the heart performs the?
systemic circulation .
What is the left side of the heart referred to?
The systemic circulation.
In what chambers does systemic circulation begin and end?
Systemic circulation begins and ends at the left side of the heart, in the left atrium and left ventricle.
Which side of the heart pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation pathway?
the left side of the heart pumps blood into the pulmonary
What is the circulation of the blood to and from the lungs?
It is called the pulmonary circulation, where blood travels to the lungs to receive oxygen and lose carbon dioxide, before returning to the heart.
Which blood circuit is associated with the left side of the heart?
The left side of the heart is associated with circulation of pure oxygenated blood to the body tissues
Where does circulation start?
This system begins at the left side of the heart and through the aorta.
Which type of circulation begins with blood being pumped out of the left side of the heart?
systematic
Is the left side of the heart is high pressure or low pressure?
The left side of the heart is part of a high-pressure circuit. The left side of the heart must pump blood throughout the body, requiring higher pressure than the pulmonary circulation.
What is the systemic circulation from pulmonary circulation?
Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the left side of the heart, through the tissues of the body excepting pulmonary tissues, and emptying into the right atrium of the heart. Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood from the right side of the heart through the lungs to become freshly oxygenated and empties into the left atrium.
What is the path of blood circulation entering the systemic circulation at the left side of the heart to pulmonary circulation at the right side of the heart?
Blood leave the aorta on the left side of the heart and into systemic circulation. Blood than enters through the venae cavae, into the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve, into the right ventricle, through the pulmunary semilunar valve, into the pulmunary arteries, around to the lungs, than to the pulmunary veins, into the left atrium, through the bicuspid valves, into the left ventrical, through the aortic semilunar valves, into the aorta and back into systemic circulation. The blood that leaves the aorta is oxygenated. When it gets back to the venae cavae after going through systemic circulation, it is full of carbon dioxide. That is why it is then sent to the lungs for oxygen prior to going back into systemic circulation.The blood after enetering the right side of the heart travels through the pulmonary artery to the to the lungs and then from there it again enters the left side of the heart through pulmonary vein. The blood leaves the right side of the heart so that it can be oxygenated in the lungs and then it is returned to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart pumps that oxygenated blood to the entire body.
