B)coronary circulation.
C)hepatic portal circulation.
D)systemic circulation.
E)fetal circulatory bypasses.

Accepted Answer

The common carotid artery is a major blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck, and it is part of the systemic circulation, which delivers blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary circulation carries oxygen-depleted blood from the heart to the lungs, the coronary circulation supplies blood to the heart muscle itself, and the hepatic portal circulation involves the flow of blood from the digestive organs to the liver. Fetal circulatory bypasses are temporary fetal adaptations and not part of the adult circulatory system.
