From left ventricie the blood forced into the
aoria to be thence dinscd through the arteries The
capilartes in every part of the body 1t is thence
turned by the veins through the eeNd the right
aurice, which delivers IL to the right ycnrice- This
completes the systemic circulation. From the right
yent1ce IL Is thrown into the pulmonary artery and
through its branches TO the pulmonary capillaries;
thence returned by the pulmonary veins, which CO.
alesce and finally enter the left arcle which pours it
into the left Yentrcle thus completing the puaOnjc
ctfcuIdfion. The two constitute one complete circuit
of the double circulation. Both carried stimuli
taneously. The aurcles contract and datc and this
contraction and dilaton is followed Immediately by
like action OF the yentrices By the latter pure blood
is thrown into the body and impure into the lungs and
almost simultaneously the auricles receive impure
blood from the body and pure from the lungs.
