The heart is basically two pumps. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. This is known as the pulmonary circulation. The left side of the heart receives this newly oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it around the rest of the body. This is known as the systemic circulation. There are therefore two different circulations, which although they work with eachother, are seperate.

∙ 14y agoA double circulatory system allows blood returning from the lungs to have an extra 'boost' to circulate around the body. This allows mammals to have a high metabolic rate, because oxygen and food substances required for metabolic processes can be delivered more rapidly to cells.

∙ 11y agoThe mammalian circulatory system is described as a double circulatory system because blood goes to the heart then to the lungs and then back to the heart and then to the body. It does this because it has to pick up oxygen and drop off carbon dioxide at the lungs. It has to drop off oxygen at the cells and pick up carbon dioxide.

A function of the circulatory system in a mammal?
Mammals have a closed Circulatory system. Parts of the system include a heart and veins. It is complex.
Do tigers have a open or closed circulatory system?

Do amphibians have a single loop circulatory system?
no they have double loop circulatory system but the difference is that they have single ventricle.
What kind of circulatory system does a hyena have?
A double closed circulatory system.
Do mammals have an open circulatory system?
No, mammals have a closed circulatory system as the system consists of veins and arteries, that carry blood through them. Unlike an open circulatory system which also has a heart, but the blood is free flowing throughout the body. For example when you kill an insect, it is like popping a sack filled with blood, which is exactly what insects with open circulatory systems are.
