What is the minor or pulmonary circulation

In this video we will return to the topic of how blood circulation works and we will do so by talking about what is the minor or pulmonary circulation.

The pulmonary circulation is called minor since it establishes a much smaller circuit compared to the greater circulation, this goes from the heart to the lung and back, unlike the greater circulation that travels from the heart to the whole body and back to the heart.

In the same way, the blood will come out through the right ventriloquist and it will come out dirty, since it is the blood that has traveled from the organs, with all the waste products that the organs have created and are going to end up in the heart, and this dirty blood cannot re-nourish these tissues since it must be cleaned first and this cleaning is the work done by the minor circulation system.
