Summary Introduction

To trace: A drop of blood through the pulmonary and systemic circulations, naming in sequence each structure through which it passes.

Introduction: Most of the vertebrates have two types of circulation including pulmonary and systemic circulation in blood vessels. Pulmonary circulation circulates the deoxygenated blood to the lungs, to make it oxygenated and then it passes the blood to the heart. Systemic circulation circulates the oxygenated blood from the heart to the other body tissues and then carries the deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
