What is meant by double circulation?explain
Answers
Double circulation is a process during which blood passes twice through the heart during one complete cycle. This type of circulation is found in birds, and mammals as in them the heart is completely divided into four chambers – the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.
The movement of blood in an organism is divided into two parts:
(i) Systemic circulation
(ii) Pulmonary circulation
Systemic circulation involves the movement of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the aorta. It is then carried by blood through a network of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries to the tissues. From the tissues, the deoxygenated blood is collected by the venules, veins, and vena cava, and is emptied into the right auricle.
Pulmonary circulation involves the movement of deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, which then carries blood to the lungs for oxygenation. From the lungs, the oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins into the left atrium.

Answer:
The system of blood circulation common in mammals, in which blood passes through the heart twice, before going through the full body is known as Double Circulation.
In general terms it may be stated as one loop in which the blood carries oxygen (oxygenated blood) and the second loop in which it carries blood which has carbon dioxide in it (devoid of oxygen - deoxygenated blood).
Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and returns back to the heart, for distribution to organs and tissues of the body.
