There are two loops to the human heart, a pulmonary loop and a systemic loop. All of the oxygen-poor blood returns to the heart via the right atrium and flows into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts blood is forced into the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to receive fresh oxygenation before returning to the heart. That is called the pulmonary loop, pulmonary referring to the lungs. When the freshly oxygenated blood returns to the heart it will flow into the left atrium and then the left ventricle. The left ventricle will squeeze blood into the aorta which delivers the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. That is known as the systemic loop, as in the body systems. When the deoxygenated blood drains from the body tissues back through the venous system, it will empty into the right atrium of the heart beginning the process all over again.

Do amphibians have a single loop circulatory system?
no they have double loop circulatory system but the difference is that they have single ventricle.
Double loop circulatory system?
y34hh
Why is the circulatory system of a reptile called a double loop circulatory system?
I think is because the circulatory system of a reptile has the ability to redirect deoxygenated blood from the lungs to save energy.
Do humans have a double loop circulatory system?
YES.
What is meant by double circulation system?
A double circulatory system is also known as a double-loop circulatory system. This system contains two distinct pathways for blood to flow through the body. In most creatures, this consists of the loop between the lungs and heart, and the loop between the heart and body.
What type of circulatory system do animals that use lungs for breathing have?
A circulatory system that involves the lungs is referred to as a double circulatory system. This is opposed to a single loop circulation that fishes have.
What is a single loop circulatory system?
It's the simpler that exist in vertebrates that has gills as the site of gas exchange, wile other organism have a double loop circulatory system that have lungs instead of gills.
Fishes have a double-loop circulation system?
A fish does not have a double-loop circulatory system, but only a single circuit. Its 2-chambered heart consists of 1 atrium and 1 ventricle.
Type of circulatory system in which blood is pumped through a network of vessels that form a closed loop?
Closed circulatory system or sometimes called cardiovascular system
Do sharks have a double loop circulatory system?
they have a single loop meaning the blood passes through the heart only once to go to everywhere in the body
Circulatory system of blue tang fish?
Fish have closed-loop circulatory systems.
How is the first loop in the circulatory system of an adult amphibian different from the second loop?
Tadpole has two chambered heart and a single-loop system while the adult has a three chambered heart and a double-loop system
