The cardiovascular system is divided into systemic and pulmonary parts. Systemic circulation carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to body tissues and returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart. Pulmonary circulation transports oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs for gas exchange, returning oxygen-rich blood to the heart. The systemic circulation involves the aorta and its branches, while the pulmonary circulation involves the pulmonary trunk and arteries.
