Solution

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.
Pulmonary circulation Systemic circulation
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.
