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.
