Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Pulmonary circulation includes a vast network of arteries, veins, and lymphatics that function to exchange blood and other tissue fluids between the heart, the lungs, and back. They are designed to perform certain specific functions that are unique to the pulmonary circulation, such as ventilation and gas exchange.
Detailed explanation-3: -The role of the ‘right side of the heart’ is to accept the blood from systemic circulation and pump it through the pulmonary circulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two loops in the circulatory system; the first goes to and from the heart, visiting the lungs to collect oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. The other loop is significantly longer and goes to and from the heart, but travels all around the body in between.
