Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In the capillaries the blood takes up oxygen from the air breathed into the air sacs and releases carbon dioxide. It then flows into larger and larger vessels until the pulmonary veins (usually four in number, each serving a whole lobe of the lung) are reached.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary circulation: It is the type of circulation where the unoxygenated and oxygenated blood is circulated in the lungs and heart, this occurs in the heart and lungs where pulmonary refers to lungs. This process mainly converts deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood.
