lo 3.3. what is the name of the circuit that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs?
respiratory circuit
cardiac circuit
systemic circuit
pulmonary circuit
capillary circuit
The pulmonary circuit is responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood gets oxygenated. The respiratory circuit is more about the process of breathing (inhaling and exhaling air). The cardiac circuit pertains to the heart's own blood supply. The systemic circuit carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The capillary circuit is a part of the micro - circulation (capillaries are small blood vessels), but it's not the name of the major circuit that takes deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
