Question

What do you mean by double circulation? Represent it diagramatically.

Expert Solution
Step 1

DOUBLE CIRCULATION;-Blood passes through the heart twice per circuit....the right pump sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs[pulmonary circulation] where it becomes oxygenated and returns back to the heart...the left pump sends the newly oxygenated blood around the body[systemic circulation] is called double circulation.....  Double circulatory systems are important because the oxygenated blood will supply to muscles and tissues instead of mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
