many have attempted to explain the mechanism of blood circulation, such as galen, ibn-al nafis, and william harvey. little attention was paid to the general anatomical architecture of the myocardium, the intricate layering of the muscle fibers within the myocardium and its effect on the blood circulation. the combined writings of drs. al-nafis and harvey, (400 years apart) yield the basis of the systemic and pulmonary circulation.

the heart, arteries, and veins (a network of tubes to carry blood) constitute the cardiovascular system or circulatory system of our body which transports the blood throughout the body. the heart can be thought of as a muscular pump, consisting of four chambers, and pulsatile muscles which pump and circulates the blood through the vasculature. arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins make up the vasculature. the cardiovascular system circulates about 5 liters of blood at a rate of approximately 6 l/m. the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are the two parts of the vasculature. the pulmonary circulation system consists of the network of blood vessels from the right heart to the lungs and back to the left heart. the rest of the blood flow loop is called systemic circulation system. the pulmonary and systemic circulations take the blood through large arteries first and then branches into smaller arteries before reaching arterioles and capillaries. after capillaries, the blood enters the venules before joining smaller veins first and then larger veins before reaching the right heart. thus completing the cycle of blood going to heart and then coming from it and going to all parts of the body.
