The body also has two types of circulations: The Pulmonary circulation takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs‚ picks up oxygen and goes back to the heart. The oxygenated blood is then transported to the rest of the body before returning to the heart via the Systemic circulation. During this process blood goes to the stomach‚ intestines‚ spleen and
