Detailed explanation-1: -The pump for the pulmonary circuit, which circulates blood through the lungs, is the right ventricle. The left ventricle is the pump for the systemic circuit, which provides the blood supply for the tissue cells of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The systemic circulation refers to the path that carries blood from the left ventricle, through the body, back to the right atrium. In contrast, the pulmonary circuit refers to the path from the right ventricle, through the lungs, and back to the left atrium.
Detailed explanation-3: -The right atrium pumps the blood to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the low-oxygen blood to the lungs to pick up a fresh supply of oxygen. The left atrium receives to high-oxygen blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
