Blood vessels in the cardiovascular system are subdivided into the
A
cardiac and vascular circuits.
B
lymphatic and blood circuits.
C
systemic and pulmonary circuits.
D
dorsal aorta and venae cavae.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The blood vessels of the body are functionally divided into two distinctive circuits: pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit. The pump for the pulmonary circuit, which circulates blood through the lungs, is the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pulmonary circulation is a short loop from the heart to the lungs and back again. The systemic circulation carries blood from the heart to all the other parts of the body and back again.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary circuit: This circuit carries blood without oxygen from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the heart. The systemic circuit: In this circuit, blood with oxygen, nutrients and hormones travels from the heart to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the systemic circulation, blood travels out of the left ventricle, to the aorta, to every organ and tissue in the body, and then back to the right atrium. The arteries, capillaries, and veins of the systemic circulatory system are the channels through which this long journey takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: The correct path of a drop of blood through the vascular system is right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arteriorles, capillaries, venules, veins, vena cavae.
