GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The systemic circulation provides the functional blood supply to all body tissue. It carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products. Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -systemic circulation, in physiology, the circuit of vessels supplying oxygenated blood to and returning deoxygenated blood from the tissues of the body, as distinguished from the pulmonary circulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The circuit through which blood flows from the heart to the lungs and back is called the pulmonary circuit. The circuit through which blood flows from the heart to body tissues and back is called the systemic circuit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries transport blood that has a low oxygen content from the right ventricle to the lungs. Systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body tissues.
