That part of the circulatory system that channels blood through all organs other than the lungs. Compare pulmonary circulation.
oxygenated blood travels from the left side of the heart to the various areas of the body. Gas, nutrient, and waste exchange occurs across the capillary walls into the surrounding cells. The deoxygenated blood returns to the right side of the heart.
The circulation of blood through the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the general system
The part of the circulatory system serving those parts of the body other than the lungs or gills.
circulation that supplies blood to all the body except to the lungs
circulation of blood throughout the entire body
The route of oxygen rich blood from the left atrium (heart) through the arteries, capillaries, and tissues exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide and returning to the right atrium of the heart.
Movement of oxygenated blood from heart to working muscles and other body organs and return of deoxygenated blood to heart.
The circulation of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to all non-pulmonary systems and organs of the body. It is also known as the greater circulation because the flow path is long and higher pressures are required relative to the lesser (pulmonary) circulation.
Refers to blood flow through all of the blood vessels in the body except those that supply the lungs.
Systemic circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The term is contrasted with pulmonary circulation.
