What is the structural difference between pulmonary vessel walls and systemic vessel walls?

The role of the pulmonary circulation is to take blood that is poor in oxygen and load it up with oxygen. It also takes the carbon dioxide content of blood and gets rid of it, that is you exhale it. One role of the systemic cirulation to deliver oxygen rich blood to where it is needed. That is to say that cells need oxygen to do their work, the brain to think and the muscles to contract. They get their oxygen from the systemic circulation. But blood in the systemic circulation got its oxygen from being in the pulmonary circulation.

What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?
Elatic recoil.
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 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
What is the difference between systemic vessels and pulmonary vessels?
They start off the same, but by the time you're born they have begun to diverge. The systemic vessels are (self) forced to operate under a higher pressure than the pulmonary system and so develops arterioles plus thicker arterial walls.
What are two structural differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
one is vein one is artery
Differentiate clearly between the roles of the pulmonary and systemic circulation?
pulumonary serculation is cerculated in the lung systemic serculation is all of ours body system
What is the difference between pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sclerosis?
They are essentially the same.
What are the differences between the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems?
the heart has two systems, the pulmonary and the systemic system.the pulmonary is responsible for getting carbonated blood (blue) to the lungs to get loaded with nutrients and oxygen (see cellular respiration) and to take oxygen rich blood back to the heart. While the systemic system is responsible for taking oxygenated blood (red) from the heart to the rest of the body to diffuse the ATP (ATP = oxygen + nutrients from food. ATP is energy.) Then the carbonated blood (carbonated) returns to the heart to be sent back to the lungs.(pulmonary system)
Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
What is the difference between COPD and pulmonary fibrosis?
what is the differencebetween copd and pulmonary fibrosis
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 is the difference between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation?
nothing
