Explain how the heart acts as a "double pump." Describe the pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation in your answer.
Your heart is considered a "double pump" because of the two circulatory circuits within the organ. The pulmonary circulation is the circuit in which blood from the right side of the heart is carried out to the lungs and returned back to the left side of the heart. The systemic circulation is the circuit in which blood from the left side of the heart goes through the body tissues and returns back to the right side of the heart.

What are the atrioventricular (AV) valves of the heart? What are the semilunar (SL) valves?
AV - Mitral (Bicuspid) and Tricuspid
SL - Pulmonary and Aortic
