The blood circulation in the Lungs, called the pulmonary circulation, is COMPLETELY a part of the general, systemic circulation of Blood.
coronary circulation
Pulmonary and systemic
The purpose of systemic circulation is to carry blood from the heart to the body. It then returns the blood back to the heart.
Pulmonary - carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. Systemic - carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
The pulmonary circulation (from heart to lungs and back) is shorter than the systemic circulation (from heart to body tissues and back).
Blood returning from the body systemic circulation first enters which chamber of the heart?
Arterial systemic circulation:arterial referring to the blood carried by arteriessystemic referring to the rest of the body (excluding the lungs and the heart itself).
Systemic circulation circulates through body tissues but not the lungs.
Systemic circulation circulates through body tissues but not the lungs.
Coronary circulation is a sub-set of systemic circulation, it just supplies the heart. Pulmonary circulation is mecanically the same as systemic, but the blood enters as deoxigenated, and the pressures are much lower.
