Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of circulation begins with blood being pumped out of the left side of the heart?
A
systole
B
diastole
C
pulmonary
D
systemic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the systemic circulation, the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the main artery (aorta).

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart. Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which are muscular. Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle.
