Differentiate between.
Venous heart and pulmonary heart

Explanation

Solution

Venous heart is the portion of the heart which is filled with deoxygenated blood. Here, Deoxygenated blood from the body is collected by the right atrium; the right ventricle pumps this blood into the lungs. In the pulmonary heart, four chambers are found.

Complete answer:
First we should know about the heart to answer this question. The heart is a fist-sized muscular organ positioned just above and just left of the breastbone. In the network of arteries and nerves, named the cardiovascular system, the heart pumps blood. The heart consists of four chambers:
The right atrium collects and pumps blood from the veins to the right ventricle.
Blood from the right atrium is collected by the right ventricle and injected into the lungs where it is filled with oxygen.
The left atrium collects and pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left ventricle.
The left ventricle pumps the rest of the body with blood rich in oxygen. Our blood pressure is produced by heavy contractions of the left ventricle.

Venous heartPulmonary heart
(i) Venous heart consists of two chambered i.e., auricle and ventricle.(i) Pulmonary heart consists of four chambered.
(ii) It has a single circuit of blood circulation.(ii) It has double circulation.

Note: The heart of fishes is venous as it is fully filled with deoxygenated blood. Pulmonary heart disease in humans develops as a reaction to elevated vascular resistance or excessive blood pressure in the lungs due to enlargement and collapse of the right ventricle of the heart.
