How is the heart involved in pulmonary circulation?
Right side of the heart is involved in pulmonary circulation. This circulation is called, at times, as lesser circulation, as against the greater or systemic circulation. Blood that flows through the lesser and greater circulation is same in amount. But there is gross difference between the two. You have interstitial compartment in the systemic circulation. This is maintained through high blood pressure there. You do not have the same in pulmonary circulation. What you need here is simple blood flow, with out formation of the interstitial compartment. For that you have blood systolic blood pressure of about 25 mm of mercury. The blood pressure in the capillaries is about 15 mm of the mercury. The oncotic pressure of the blood proteins is about 22 mm of mercury. So very little fluid is leaked out to keep the alveoli wet. Some times in diseased condition more fluid is leaked out in the alveoli, to give rise to pulmonary oedema.
What is the main purpose of circulation?

How the anatomical design of the hepatic circulation serves its function?
You have capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract. The capillaries unite to form the veins. You have again formation of the capillaries in the liver. Here the blood has to pass through the sinusoids to the central vein. The blood is accompanied by blood from the hepatic artery. The portal blood carry the nutrients. The hepatic artery carry the oxygen. The liver cells are metabolically active. They need both to perform the desired function. So you have very unique arrangement in the liver. So you have capillaries - veins - capillaries in portal circulation.
Why is it important for blood to travel through two separate pathways for circulation?
It is important for blood to travel through two separate pathways for circulation because it allows for efficient transport of oxygen-rich blood to the body tissues and oxygen-poor blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The pulmonary circulation pathway facilitates gas exchange in the lungs, while the systemic circulation pathway supplies oxygen and nutrients to all other body tissues. This separation helps optimize oxygen delivery and ensures proper functioning of vital organs.
