Explanation:

Blood is pumped away from the heart at high pressure in arteries, and returns to the heart at low pressure in veins. The human circulatory system is a double circulatory system.

The human circulatory system is a double circulatory system. It has two separate circuits and blood passes through the heart twice:

the pulmonary circuit is between the heart and lungs

the systemic circuit is between the heart and the other organs

Pulmonary circuit

The pulmonary circuit transports blood to the lungs. The blood is oxygenated there and then carried back to the heart. Gaseous exchange happens in the lungs:

carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the air in the alveoli

oxygen diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the blood, and is absorbed by haemoglobin in the red blood cells

Unlike other arteries and veins, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood.

Systemic circuit

The systemic circuit transports blood around the body. It transports oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues, and carries away deoxygenated blood containing carbon dioxide and other waste materials.
