Vérkeringése

Vérkeringése, meaning "blood circulation" in Hungarian, refers to the continuous movement of blood throughout the body. This vital process is driven by the heart, a muscular organ that pumps blood through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other essential substances to all cells and tissues, while simultaneously removing waste products like carbon dioxide.

There are two main circuits within the blood circulation. The pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. This oxygenated blood then returns to the heart. The systemic circulation then pumps this oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues. As the blood circulates, it also plays a role in regulating body temperature and defending against infection by transporting immune cells. Disruptions to vérkeringése can lead to a variety of health problems, highlighting its fundamental importance for maintaining life and health.
