 Circulatory system - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
The circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the organ system which circulates blood around the body of most animals.
Following are some basic functions of the human circulatory system:
Also called visceral circulation, the splanchnic circulation is the part of the systemic circulation that supplies the digestive organs.

 Chordata - Columbia Encyclopedia® article about Chordata
Reptiles differ from other terrestrial vertebrates (birds and mammals) in that they are cold-blooded, that is, they lack an effective system for regulating their body temperature, which tends to approach that of the environment.
Most mammals have highly evolved sense organs and larger brains than other vertebrates.
Like the birds, they have a four-chambered heart and a double-circuit circulatory system and are able to regulate body temperature.

 Double circulatory system - definition of Double circulatory system in Encyclopedia
The double circulatory system of blood flow refers to the separate systems of pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation in amphibians, birds and mammals (including humans.) In contrast, fishes have a single circulation system.
Please see circulatory systems in humans for more details.
For instance, the adult human heart consists of two separated pumps, the right side with the right atrium and ventricle (which pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary circulation), and the left side with the left atrium and ventricle (which pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation).

 Ventricle (heart)
In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation for the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation for the rest of the body.
In the heart, a ventricle is a chamber which collects blood from an atrium (another heart chamber) and pumps it out of the heart.
Ventricles have thicker walls than the atria, and thus can withstand the higher blood pressure.

 ipedia.com: Systemic circulation Article
Systemic circulation is a circuit of circulation in the cardiovascular system.
Blood circulates from the left ventricle to the organs and tissues to the systemic veins to the right atrium.
