	Systemic Circulation
		Systemic circulation supplies nourishment to all of the tissue located throughout your body, with the exception of the heart and lungs because they have their own systems.
		Systemic circulation is a major part of the overall circulatory system.
		This phase of systemic circulation is known as renal circulation.

	Systemic circulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Systemic circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, to the body, and returns oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart.
		Oxygenated blood from the [lungs] leaves the left heart through the aorta, from where it is distributed to the body's organs and tissues, which absorb the oxygen, through a complex network of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries.
		The blood is then re-oxygenated through the pulmonary circulation before returning again to the systemic circulation.

		Knowledge of systemic circulation and other aspects of the heart and vascular system are essential parts of training in many therapies, such as Massage (in its many forms, "Indian Head Massage", "Swedish Massage", "Accupressure Massage" etc.), Aromatherapy, Acupuncture, Shiatsu, and others.
		Systemic Circulation is the system of blood vessels and associated tissues that supplies blood, and hence oxygen, to all parts of the body.
		Further information about the structure and functions of the heart and vascular system generally are included on other pages of this website.

		Systemic blood pressure (and really all blood pressures) are determined at a basic level by flow and resistance, namely the cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.
		These are necessary as veins are the low pressure end of the systemic circulation and in animals like the human or giraffe, the vertical distance the venous blood has to travel to reach the right heart requires more pressure to overcome than will normally exist in the veins.
		Systemic arterial pressure measurement is done either with a manual or automatic blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer) or with an indwelling arterial catheter attached to a strain gauge pressure transducer via a fluid filled catheter.

	PERSISTENT PULMONARY HYPERTENSION OF THE NEWBORN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by systemic arterial hypoxemia secondary to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance with resultant shunting of pulmonary blood flow to the systemic circulation.
		Since both the pulmonary and systemic resistances are high, a large mechanical load is placed on the heart (especially the right heart) to continue to pump blood to either vascular bed.

		The most straightforward means of administering a drug into the systemic circulation is by intravenously injecting it as a bolus.
		This fraction is calculated by dividing the amount of the drug dose that reaches the circulation from the administration site by the amount of the drug dose that would enter the systemic circulation after direct intravenous injection into the circulation (essentially the total dose).
		After delivery of a drug into the systemic circulation either directly by intravenous injection or after absorption, the drug is transported throughout the body, initially to the well-perfused tissues and later to areas that are less perfused.

		According to the present invention, the adverse effects of adenosine that result from systemic administration (intravenous or intraarterial administration) are circumvented by administering adenosine or a prodrug thereof via single application or intermittent or continuous peritoneal lavage which induce beneficial effects on the intestines of a subject.
		Because adenosine inhibits the activity of various cells in the blood including platelets and neutrophils and because these blood cells circulate to the intestines, peritoneal lavage with adenosine is useful to treat or prevent systemic diseases in which activation of blood cells, particularly platelets and neutrophils, participate in the pathophysiology of the systemic disease.
		Even though the adenosine is removed from the intestinal circulation as the blood draining the intestines passes through the intestines, liver and lungs, the inhibited blood cells remains inhibited for a period of time.

		Since the pulmonary circulation is in series with the systemic circulation, blood flow is the same in both circuits.
		The lower pulmonary vascular pressure is largely accounted for by the lack of high resistance arterioles that are characteristic of systemic arteries.
		The lack of functional arterioles affects blood flow distribution in the lung inasmuch as it is markedly affected by gravity.

		This shunting of deoxygenated (venous) blood into the systemic circulation results in hypoxemia and, if the hypoxemia is severe enough, in cyanosis and polycythemia.
		The amount of pulmonary blood flow is decreased from that seen in a normal animal in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot because of the pulmonic stenosis and an apparent lack of response by the body to this decrease in pulmonary blood volume.
		A patient that has mild pulmonic stenosis (where pulmonary resistance is still less than the systemic vascular resistance) and a large ventricular septal defect can have a predominantly left-to-right shunt and have the same hemodynamics as a patient with a small, isolated ventricular septal defect.

	Systemic Aspects of Psoriasis
		Systemic therapies such as acitretin, methotrexate, cyclosporine, hydroxyurea, and thioguanine are all associated with significant systemic toxicity and must be closely monitored [2].
		Lymphatic/immune system involvement in psoriasis is well established, although the precise homing mechanism by which lymphocytes migrate to the skin remains unknown [63-65].
		Thus, in viewing psoriasis as a systemic disorder involving increased autoimmune reactivity in the skin (and to the joints in psoriatic arthritis), the intestinal tract and lymphatic system take on important roles with regard to etiology and pathophysiology of the disorder.

	The Dynamics of Cardiac Circulation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The cyclical circulation of blood through the human body depends primarily on the maintainance of a constant balance between pressure, flow and resistance.
		In the pulmonary circulation, blood travels from the right ventricle to the left atrium through the lungs, where it is oxygenated.
		This description will focus on systemic rather than pulmonary circulation because the systemic circulation has a higher overall pressure (120 mm Hg as opposed to 35 mm Hg in pulmonary circulation), which lends itself more easily to analysis of the dynamics of cardiac circulation.
