Question

difference between systemetic and pulmonary circulation

Answer 1

in systemic oxygenated blood is transferred but in pulmonary deoxygenated blood is transferred.

Answer 2

The circulation of blood through the lungs is called pulmonary circulation, and the circulation around the body is called systemic circulation.In the pulmonary circulation system, carbon dioxide in deoxygenated blood is exchanged with oxygen in the lungs and release to the body while in the systemic circulation oxygenated blood flows to the organs and oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide.Pulmonary system deals with atrioventricular valves, whereas systemic circulation does not.Pulmonary system starts with the right atrium and ends with left ventricle whereas systemic circulation starts aorta of the left ventricle and ends with the right atrium.Systemic circulation consists of veins called superior vena cava and inferior vena cava, which carry blood to the heart, and arteries which carry blood away from the heart. They have been branched into many. But pulmonary system has two blood vessels which are branched only into lungs.In the pulmonary system, only gas is exchanged whereas, in the systemic circulation, nutrients and gas are exchanged.
