Q

what is the difference between pulmonary and systemic circulation?

A

pulmonary circulation moves blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and back to the heart so that it can deliver oxygenated blood. Systemic circulation pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart to be sent out for refueling.

Q

what is the difference between anterior and posterior view?

A

The base of the heart, the posterior part, is formed by both atria, but mainly the left. The anterior of the heart is formed mainly by the right atrium and ventricle, due to the twisting of the heart during development, which causes the left atrium and ventricle to lie posteriorly.
