What is the difference between pulmonary circulation coronary circulation and systematic circulation?

the circulation is divided into 2 circulations 1st is pulmonary circulation in which what happens is that when the pulmonary artery caring impure blood to the lungs for purification and the pure blood (oxygenated) in brought back from lungs to heart through pumonary vien, this is pulmonary circulation 2nd systematic circulation in this what happens is that the pure blood from the left ventricle is forced to all other part of the body through aorta to all the cells and tissues, after the diffusion in which stuffs are interchanged( carbon dioxide and glucose and oxygen) it is brought back to the heart through inferior or superior vena cava, this is systemic circulation Finally, the coronary circulation is the circulation of blood that feeds the heart itself, since it does not receive any oxygen from the systemic or pulmonary circulations.


What is the difference between the circulation of a baby and a fetus?

A baby refers to an infant after birth, whose circulation has transitioned fully to breathing air through the lungs. A fetus refers to an unborn offspring, whose circulation is supported by the placenta and umbilical cord. The main difference is that a baby's circulation is independent, while a fetus relies on the mother's circulation for oxygen and nutrients.
