2. PULMONARY AND SYSTEMATIC
CIRCULATION
Right side of the heart collects
deoxygenated blood from body and
distributes it to lungs while left side
collects oxygenated blood from lungs
and distributes it to body.The
pathway on which deoxygenated
blood is carried from heart to lungs
and in return oxygenated blood is
carried from lungs to heart is called
Pulmonary circulation. Similarly,
the pathway on which oxygenated
blood is carried from heart to body
tissues and in return deoxygenated
blood is carried from body tissues to
heart is called Systematic circulation.
