There is more blood in the systemic circuit than the pulmonary circuit. Even the arterial portion of the systemic circuit is larger than the entire pulmonary circuit, because the pulmonary circuit only delivers blood to the lungs, and the systemic circuit supplies the rest of the body.

What part of the body do the arteries carry the blood?
Arteries carry blood to all parts of the body.
Do arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries?
Systemic Arteries carry oxygen rich blood (also called oxygenated blood). Pulmonary Arteries carry oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
Is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest during atrial systole or ventricular systole?
ventricular systole
What is the the job of the arteries?
arteries are blood vessels that take blood away from your heart and into your body. First the blood passaes through the right atrium then into the arteries where the blood is then deoxygenated and the oxygen is given to all your muscles.
Structural differences between arteries and veins?
Pulmonary Arteries lead from the heart to the lungs. Systemic arteries go everywhere else. Consequently, the pulmonary arteries are usually slightly smaller and thinner. There is also less of them.
What tube is responsible for carrying blood that is high in oxygen?
Arteries. Systemic arteries.
Which blood vessels supply oxygenated systemic blood to the lung tissue?
Pulmonary arteries
What are unusual arteries?
The arteries of the pulmonary circulation are unusual. They carry oxygen-poor blood, unlike the systemic arteries.
Which blood vessel that has the highest temperature when the body is at rest?
Systemic veins & venules
What blood in artteries is it?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. In the systemic circulation, they carry oxygenated blood. In the pulmonary circulation, arteries carry deoxygenated blood.
The blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during what?
ventricular systole
Which part of the systemic circuit has the highest blood pressure?
The blood pressure is the highest in the arteries. It will decrease continuously as it flows through the systemic circuit.
What type of blood does artieris carry?
An artery is an elastic blood vessel that transports blood away from the heart. There are two main types of arteries: pulmonary arteries and systemic arteries. Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where the blood picks up oxygen. The oxygen rich blood is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary veins. Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body. The aorta is the main systemic artery and the largest artery of the body. It originates from the heart and branches out into smaller arteries which supply blood to the head region, the heart itself, and the lower regions of the body.
What carries oxynated blood through the body?
Systemic arteries carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
How does the blood in the pulmonary artery compare to blood in the arteries of the systemic circualatory system?
They are low in oxygen.
What part of the body do the arteries carry the blood?
Arteries carry blood to all parts of the body.
When is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest?
when it just come out from the heart at the aorta
