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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?
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].
What are the two kinds of blood circuit?
Veins and Arteries, I believe is what you are asking about. Arteries carry freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs; veins return the 'spent' blood to the lungs for a recharge. Arteries carry greater blood pressure. The two major blood circuit are the Pulmonary Circuit which is the circuit that runs through the lungs and the Systemic Circuit, Which is the circuit that takes the blood through the body.
The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?
In pulmonary arteries, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg. In pulmonary veins, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic arteries, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic veins, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg.
How pulmonary system and systemic system are differ from each other?
The pulmonary system is responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood, while the systemic system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and removes waste products. The pulmonary system deals with gas exchange specifically in the lungs, while the systemic system involves the entire body's circulation of blood.
Are The lungs are the primary organs in the Systemic circuit?
No ; False
What's the blood to systemic arteries?
There is more blood in the systemic circuit than the pulmonary circuit. Even the arterial portion of the systemic circuit is larger than the entire pulmonary circuit, because the pulmonary circuit only delivers blood to the lungs, and the systemic circuit supplies the rest of the body.
Is the aorta part of the pulmonary circuit?
No, the aorta is part of the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the pulmonary artery and vein.
Two major divisions of the circulatory system?
Pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit.
What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?
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..........

What is the large vessel that brings blood to the heart?
From the systemic circuit (superior/ inferior vena cava) or the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary vein)?
Do the pulmonary and systemic circuits contain the same amount of blood?
No, the pulmonary circuit contains less blood than the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit sends deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while the systemic circuit delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body's tissues.
Which blood circuit is associated with the right side of the heart?
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
What is the flow of blood to the tissues of the heart?
coronary circulation
The blood vessels to the lungs and back are collectively known as the?
This is called the pulmonary circuit. In and out to the body is called the systemic circuit.
What is another name for the circulation of blood from lungs to heart to body?
Pulmonary circulation Pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation pulmonary circulation
What are the two types of circulation of blood in the body?
Pulmonary and systemic
What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?
Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.
