The pulmonary (pulmonary means lung) circulation is the portion of the circulatory system that starts as blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery, into the pulmonary capillary bed, where it is oxygenated by the lungs, and then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.
Then the system circulation begins. From the left atria, the (now oxygenated) blood travels through the bicuspid (or left atrioventricular) valve, into the left ventricle and then out the aortic valve into the aorta and into the rest of the body (including the coronary arteries). The blood flows through the bodies arteries, capillary beds and veins until it collects into the two main veins (inferior and superior vena cava) that drain into the right atria of the heart.
So basically, the pulmonary (or pulmonic) circulatory system goes from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back to the left side of the heart, while the systemic circulatory system goes from the left side of the heart, through the body, and back to the right side of the heart.

What are the two circulations that the human body has?
The systemic and pulmonary.
What are the different kinds of circulations?
Pulmonary circulation - between the heart and the lungs Systematic circulation - between the heart and the rest of the body Coronary circulation - the heart itself
What type of circulations flows from the heart to the lungs and back again?
Type your answer here... pulmonary
What is the difference between pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sclerosis?
They are essentially the same.
What is the difference between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation?
nothing
What is the difference between pulmonary system and coronary system?
Coronary or cardio is blood flow. Pulmonary or respiratory is breathing.
What is the blood like in pulmonary and bronchial circulations?
I thought my husband had COPD but have recently learned it is pulmonary fibrosis. What is the difference. Is there any hope for patients with this disease. What about apple cider vinegar - could this be helpful?
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 the difference between the pulmonary arteries and other arteries in the body?
they carry deoxygenated blood
What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
What is double circulation?
the circulation from a lungs to the heart is called pulmonary circulation And the circulation from lungs to the body is called systematic circulation This two circulations is called double circulation
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.
