What is the name of the blood circulation system that transfers blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart?

Systemic circulation
Coronary circulation
Pulmonary circulation
Hepatic circulation

The correct answer is: Pulmonary circulation

The correct answer is pulmonary circulation. This is the specific blood circulation system responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen through the alveoli. Once the blood is oxygenated, it returns to the left side of the heart via the pulmonary veins. This process is crucial for maintaining the body’s oxygen supply and removing carbon dioxide. In contrast, systemic circulation refers to the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Coronary circulation specifically involves the flow of blood to and from the tissues of the heart itself, supplying it with oxygen and nutrients. Hepatic circulation pertains to the blood flow between the heart and the liver, primarily involved in processing nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract. Understanding these distinct types of circulation is vital for any professional in the field of barbering, as it relates to overall health and wellness.
