Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart.
The other type of circulation is systemic circulation. In this, oxygenated blood from the heart is carried to all the parts of the body.

Veins are the vessels which carry carbon dioxide-rich blood from all the parts of the body back to the heart.
Veins have valves which stop the blood from flowing backward. This is because blood pressure in veins is very low (compared to arteries).

Blood is a liquid which has cells of various kinds suspended in it. The major types of cells in the blood include - red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Platelets help our body form clots to stop bleeding.
If one of the blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.

The walls of the chambers of the heart are made up of muscles. These muscles contract and relax rhythmically. The rhythmic contraction of muscles is followed by its relaxation. This constitutes a heartbeat.
The doctors use a stethoscope to listen to the heartbeat. It amplifies the sound of the heartbeats which makes it easier for the doctors to listen.
