Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The circulatory system’s vascular network is composed of two subdivisions, namely the pulmonary system and the systemic system. The pulmonary system starts with the pulmonary trunk and terminates in the left atrium. The systemic system starts with the aorta and terminates in the right atrium. These systems are composed of veins, venules, arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
