The circulation system
The circulation of venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and back to the left atrium of the heart.
The systemic circulation connects the heart to all body parts. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
There are two circuits: Pulmonary-carries blood to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic-carries blood from the body and back to the heart
Your heart is placed in your thorax between your lungs. There is no anatomical connection between both except by way of pulmonary blood vessels. You have pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins to connect the lungs with your heart.
The systemic circuit connects the heart to all parts of the body. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
The Pulmonary Circulaiton
The circulation of venous blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and back to the left atrium of the heart.
The systemic circulation connects the heart to all body parts. The pulmonary circuit connects the heart to the lungs.
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
The pulmonary circuit.
There are two circuits: Pulmonary-carries blood to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic-carries blood from the body and back to the heart
The pulmonary circuit is the part of the circulatory system responsible for carrying blood from the heart to the lungs and back. It carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation and then returns oxygenated blood back to the heart to be circulated to the rest of the body.
Systemic circuit- blood flow in the body Coronary circuit- blood flow in the heart Pulmonary circuit - blood flow in the lungs
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].
Your heart is placed in your thorax between your lungs. There is no anatomical connection between both except by way of pulmonary blood vessels. You have pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins to connect the lungs with your heart.
The heart is responsible for pumping the blood to every cell in the body. It is also responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and takes on oxygen. The heart is able to pump blood to both regions efficiently because there are really two separate circulatory circuits with the heart as the common link. Some authors even refer to the heart as two separate hearts, a right heart in the pulmonary circuit and left heart in the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary arteries, goes to the lungs, and returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
