Expert's answer
d. Systemic circuit
There are two major circuits in the cardiovascular system: the pulmonary circuit (which is responsible for sending blood to the lungs) and the systemic circuit (carries blood to and away from all the tissues in the body, thus it is responsible for sending blood to the kidneys, stomach, and pelvic organs).
