Solution
Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, and oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. Systemic circulation is the flow of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body, and deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium.
The pulmonary circulation system includes a network of arteries, veins, and lymphatics that exchange blood and other fluids between the heart and lungs.
The lungs add oxygen to the blood.
