(N/A) Human circulatory system is made up of a network of the heart,various types of ducts,arteries,veins,and capillaries.
In human circulation,the circulation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is carried out separately. Therefore,it is called double circulation.
The blood pumped by the right ventricle enters the pulmonary artery,whereas the left ventricle pumps the blood into the aorta.
The deoxygenated blood pumped into the pulmonary artery is passed on to the lungs,from where the oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins into the left atrium.
This pathway constitutes the pulmonary circulation.
This oxygenated blood entering the aorta is carried by a network of arteries,arterioles,and capillaries to the tissues,from where the deoxygenated blood is collected by a system of venules,veins,and vena cava and emptied into the right atrium.
This is the systemic circulation.
The systemic circulation provides nutrients,$O_{2}$,and other essential substances to the tissues and takes $CO_{2}$ and other harmful substances away for elimination.
$A$ unique vascular connection exists between the digestive tract and the liver called the hepatic portal system. The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the intestine to the liver before it is delivered to the systemic circulation.
$A$ special coronary system of blood vessels is present in our body exclusively for the circulation of blood to and from the cardiac musculature.
