Question 24 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

Which circuit brings oxygenated blood to the rest of the body other than the heart and lungs?

Answer
A
pulmonary
B
cardiac
C
systemic

Explanation

The systemic circuit carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's tissues, excluding the heart and lungs, and returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart. The pulmonary circuit carries blood between the heart and lungs, while the cardiac circuit supplies the heart muscle itself. Therefore, the systemic circuit is correct.
