Question
what is systemic circulation? the oxygenated blood traveling to the rest of the body the deoxygenated blood traveling to the lungs the deoxygenated blood traveling to the kidneys
Systemic circulation is the part of the circulatory system that carries oxygenated blood from the heart (left ventricle) to the rest of the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart (right atrium). The first option describes oxygenated blood going to the rest of the body, which matches systemic circulation. The second option describes blood going to the lungs (which is pulmonary circulation, carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated). The third option about deoxygenated blood to kidneys is not the definition of systemic circulation.
