  • A It passes twice through the heart in a complete circuit
  • B It moves in both arteries and veins
  • C It circulates in both the hands and other organs
  • D The heart contains auricles and ventricles
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Double circulation is the type of circulatory system that occurs in mammals, in which the blood passes through the heart twice before completing a full circuit of the body. Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and returns to the heart before being distributed to the other organs and tissues of the body. The heart is divided into two separate compartments to prevent oxygenated blood returning from the lungs from mixing with deoxygenated blood from the other parts of the body.
