CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

The document explains the concept of double circulation in animals, which consists of pulmonary and systemic circulation. Systemic circulation delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the body, while pulmonary circulation returns deoxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs. Blood is pumped through the aorta and pulmonary arteries, with oxygenated blood returning via pulmonary veins.

Pulmonary and systemic circulation

• The circulation in animals is divided into two circuits, and


blood is circulated twice through the heart, called double
circulation.
• The two forms of circulation that occur in a double
circulation system are pulmonary and systematic
circulation.
• Systemic circulation transports oxygenated blood from the
heart throughout the body.
• pulmonary circulation brings deoxygenated blood back to
the heart.
• In the pulmonary circulation, blood is pumped to
numerous body areas via the aorta. Blood is
pumped to the lungs by pulmonary arteries in the
systemic circulation.
• Pulmonary circulation occurs in the lungs and heart.
It takes place between the heart and the
rest of the body.
• Deoxygenated blood is collected from the system of
veins, and venules, and sent back to the heart.
The pulmonary veins return oxygenated
blood from the lungs to the heart.
