when the blood enters to heart via vena cavas to right atrium or auricle at the same time the blood enters the left atrium via pulmonary vein.... then the blood is pushed into ventricles by both the atrium....blood from left ventricle goes to lungs for oxygenation and from left ventricle to the body via aorta..this is double circulation

Answer:
In mammals and birds the blood goes through the heart twice during each cycle. This is known as double circulation.
Deoxygenated blood which enters right auricle and then it enters the right ventricle from where it is pumped to lungs for oxygenation. From lungs after oxygenation it comes to left auricle and then enters left ventricle from where it is pumped to various parts of body.
Such system of circulation does not allow mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood which allows efficient supply of oxygen to the body.
