Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart. The term pulmonary circulation is readily paired and contrasted with the systemic circulation. A separate system known as the bronchial circulation supplies blood to the tissue of the larger airways of the lung.
What else can I help you with?
Give an example of how the pulmonary and circulatory systems are dependent on each other?
Pulmonary = lungs Circulatory = blood Without oxygen in the blood, there's not much point in having a circulatory system to pump it around, now, is there? And how can a circulatory system function if it has no energy because it has no oxygen? than you!
What parts of the circulatory system have oxygen-rich blood?
Most arteries (except the pulmonary arteries), arterioles, the left side of the heart, and the pulmonary veins.
What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?
The systemic circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.
Why is your transport system called a double circulstory system?
The double circulatory system refers to the two loops that the blood follows in the circulatory system. The first loop is the systemic circulation, where oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the body tissues and deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart. The second loop is the pulmonary circulation, where deoxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then returned to the heart.
What is the difference between pulmonary and systematic circulations?
The pulmonary (pulmonary means lung) circulation is the portion of the circulatory system that starts as blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery, into the pulmonary capillary bed, where it is oxygenated by the lungs, and then back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. Then the system circulation begins. From the left atria, the (now oxygenated) blood travels through the bicuspid (or left atrioventricular) valve, into the left ventricle and then out the aortic valve into the aorta and into the rest of the body (including the coronary arteries). The blood flows through the bodies arteries, capillary beds and veins until it collects into the two main veins (inferior and superior vena cava) that drain into the right atria of the heart. So basically, the pulmonary (or pulmonic) circulatory system goes from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back to the left side of the heart, while the systemic circulatory system goes from the left side of the heart, through the body, and back to the right side of the heart.
What are the circulatory circuits?
The human body has a dual circulatory system: one circuit takes blood to and from the lungs (pulmonary circuit), the other supplies blood to the rest of the body.
What system supplies oxygen to blood?
The blood circulatory system.
How are the pulmonary and circulatory system dependent on each other?
The pulmonary system is connected to the pulmonary system in two ways. First the circulatory system does the same for the pulmonary system as it does for every other part of the body -- it supplies food and oxygen and removes waste products and CO2. But, in addition the heart pumps blood through the lungs to remove CO2 and pick up oxygen.
Does the pulmonary circulatory system supply blood to the lungs?
yes

What provides oxygenated blood to the lung tissue?
Pulmonary circulatory system.
What are some organs of the circulatory system?
The components of the circulatory system include the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The pulmonary circulation is also part of this complex system.
What connects the lungs to the circulatory system?
The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein.
What division of the circulatory system supplies blood to all parts of the body execpt the lungs?
The systemic circulatory supplies blood to the body and not to the lungs.
What system moves the blood to the lungs?
The circulatory system moves blood to the lungs. This part of the system is called the pulmonary circulation.
What are the two main circulatory routes in the body?
You have lesser circulation or the pulmonary circulation. Blood goes to lungs in this system from the right side of heart. You have greater circulation or the systemic circulation. Blood goes to all over the rest of body through this circulation. The amount of blood that flows is same in both the systems. You have about 25/15 mm of Hg pressure in pulmonary circulation. You have about 120/80 mm of Hg pressure in systemic circulation.
What circulation and circulatory system brings carbon dioxide filled blood to the lungs?
The pulmonary circulatory system is involved in the process of moving carbon dioxide from the blood.
