Question

Describe double circulation in human beings.

Short Note

Solution

The right and left sides make up the human heart.

Blood from several bodily parts is received by the right side of the heart, which then transfers it to the lungs for further purification. After being pushed farther and distributed throughout the body via blood arteries, oxygenated blood from the lungs is received by the left side of the heart. It's known as twofold circulation. During a single cycle, blood goes twice through the heart, which is known as double circulation.
