How to Make a Systemic Circulation Map

Three steps from your notes to a study map you can test yourself with.

  1. 1

    Add your material

    Upload notes or slides on systemic circulation, or type the topic name.

  2. 2

    AI builds the map

    The AI organizes the pathway, vessel types and key structures into branches.

  3. 3

    Study, expand and quiz

    Expand nodes, edit labels, then export or quiz yourself on the route.

Systemic Circulation Concept Map Overview

A systemic circulation concept map shows how oxygen-rich blood leaves the heart and travels to the body's tissues before returning. Systemic circulation starts at the left ventricle, passes through the aorta and arteries, and reaches capillaries where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged. Blood then returns through veins to the right atrium.

  • Heart: left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out through the aorta
  • Arteries: carry blood away from the heart under high pressure
  • Capillaries: exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste with tissues
  • Veins: return deoxygenated blood to the heart via the vena cavae

Use the map to revise the route in order, checking each vessel and structure. Then generate a personalized map from your own notes with CogniGuide to match your course.

Systemic Circulation Questions

Answers on the pathway and on building your own map.

What is the main difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation?

Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body and returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium. Pulmonary circulation carries blood between the heart and lungs for gas exchange.

Why does the left ventricle have a thicker wall?

The left ventricle pumps blood through the whole systemic circuit, so it must generate much higher pressure than the right ventricle, which only pumps to the lungs.

Which file types can I use to build my circulation map?

You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) files, text or Markdown notes, or images. You can also type the topic name directly.

Is it free to make a systemic circulation map?

Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed, and paid plans raise those limits.
