| 3. | It carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to receive oxygen. | It carries oxygenated blood to the body's organs. |
| 4. | It begins on the right ventricle and ends on the left auricle. | It starts at the left ventricle and ends at the right auricle. |
| 5. | It returns oxygenated blood back to the heart. | It returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. |
| 6. | Blood flows as: Right ventricle > deoxygenated blood > Lungs > oxygenated blood > Left auricle. |
Blood flows as: Left ventricle > oxygenated blood > Body organs > deoxygenated blood > Right auricle. |
Solution 2
| Systemic Circulation | Pulmonary Circulation |
| 1. Circulation of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to various organs of the body. | 1. Circulation starts in the right ventricle of the heart and reaches the lungs with deoxygenated blood. |
| 2. Return of deoxygenated blood to the right atrium. | 2. Pulmonary Artery collects the oxygenated blood from the lungs. |
| 3. Aorta carries oxygenated blood to all the organs of the body. | 3. Oxygenated blood is supplied to the left atrium of the heart by the Pulmonary. |
