How is the heart involved in pulmonary circulation?
Right side of the heart is involved in pulmonary circulation. This circulation is called, at times, as lesser circulation, as against the greater or systemic circulation. Blood that flows through the lesser and greater circulation is same in amount. But there is gross difference between the two. You have interstitial compartment in the systemic circulation. This is maintained through high blood pressure there. You do not have the same in pulmonary circulation. What you need here is simple blood flow, with out formation of the interstitial compartment. For that you have blood systolic blood pressure of about 25 mm of mercury. The blood pressure in the capillaries is about 15 mm of the mercury. The oncotic pressure of the blood proteins is about 22 mm of mercury. So very little fluid is leaked out to keep the alveoli wet. Some times in diseased condition more fluid is leaked out in the alveoli, to give rise to pulmonary oedema.
What are the three types of circulation?
the three types of Blood Circulation are.Portal circulationPulmonary (Lesser) circulationSystemic (Greater) circulation

What are the 4 routes of circulation?
The four routes of circulation in the body are pulmonary circulation (heart to lungs and back), systemic circulation (heart to body and back), coronary circulation (heart's blood supply), and portal circulation (digestive organs to liver and back).

What are the two main circulatory routes in the body?
You have lesser circulation or the pulmonary circulation. Blood goes to lungs in this system from the right side of heart. You have greater circulation or the systemic circulation. Blood goes to all over the rest of body through this circulation. The amount of blood that flows is same in both the systems. You have about 25/15 mm of Hg pressure in pulmonary circulation. You have about 120/80 mm of Hg pressure in systemic circulation.
3 types of circulation in the body?
The three types of blood circulation in the body are the systemic, pulmonary and portal circulation. The systemic is also known as the greater circulation and the pulmonary is also known as the lesser circulation.
What is lesser pilgrimage?
a lesser pilgrimage is a pilgrimage that is lesser than the normal pilgrimage
What is double circulation?
the circulation from a lungs to the heart is called pulmonary circulation And the circulation from lungs to the body is called systematic circulation This two circulations is called double circulation

What are the three major branches of the systemic circulation?
The systemic circulation includes three parts. The coronary circulation, the hepaticportal circulation and the renal circulation
