the heart has two systems, the pulmonary and the systemic system.the pulmonary is responsible for getting carbonated blood (blue) to the lungs to get loaded with nutrients and oxygen (see cellular respiration) and to take oxygen rich blood back to the heart. While the systemic system is responsible for taking oxygenated blood (red) from the heart to the rest of the body to diffuse the ATP (ATP = oxygen + nutrients from food. ATP is energy.) Then the carbonated blood (carbonated) returns to the heart to be sent back to the lungs.(pulmonary system)

Pulmonary circulation pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation and returns blood back to the heart via the pulmonary veins, while systemic circulation pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body, and returns oxygen poor blood back to the heart via veins (and ultimately the vena cava).

Systemic circulation:

Left atrium of heart to left ventricle of heart to aorta to body organs to vena cava to right atrium of heart

Pulmonary circulation:

Right atrium of heart to right ventricle of heart to pulmonary artery to both lungs to 4 pulmonary veins to left atrium of heart.

The main difference between systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems is the method in which they exchange oxygen. Pulmonary systems use aveoli in the lungs to pull in oxygen while systemic systems distribute it to the rest of the body through veins, arteries, and capillaries.

the pulmonary circuit transport blood between the heart and the lungs while the systemic circuit carries blood between the and the rest of the body.

What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?

Pulmonary circulation is the exchange of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation is the the exchange of blood between the heart and the body overall


What are the differences and similarities between the pulmonary and systemic circulations?

Pulmonary Circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen, while the Systemic Circulation carries the oxygenated blood throughout the body so the oxygen can be used, returning to the Pulmonary Circulation as deoxygenated blood.


What are the differences between the mammals amphibians reptiles birds and fish circulatory systems?

I suggest you get a copy of Homer Smith's book: From Fish to Philosopher. Start with fish; they don't need a separate pulmonary system (they have gills), to amphibians who have a 3 chambered heart, up to mammals and birds who require essentially two completely separate systems for pulmonary and systemic circulation.


What condition is indicated by the structural difference between systemic and pulmonary arteries?

Elatic recoil.


What is the difference between the pulmonay and systemic circuit?

The pulmonary circuit is blood flow movements from the pulmonary trunk to the left atrium...while the systemic circuit is a continuation from the left atrium all the way to the right atrium.......... Disclaimer [research for detailed blood movements in pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit if this isn't enough].

Type of blood circulation between heart and rest of body?

circulatory system ^That's wrong.... It is the systemic circulation


Which body system is responsible for transporting blood between the heart and lungs?

the pulmonary system.


Structural differences between arteries and veins?

Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.


What the differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?

The pulmonary artery takes blood from the right ventricle into the lungs; the pulmonary vein collects blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.


What is the difference between systemic vessels and pulmonary vessels?

They start off the same, but by the time you're born they have begun to diverge. The systemic vessels are (self) forced to operate under a higher pressure than the pulmonary system and so develops arterioles plus thicker arterial walls.
