Systemic circulation refers to the path that blood takes as it is pumped from the heart, travels throughout the body to supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and then returns to the heart. It involves the blood vessels of the arteries, veins, and capillaries that supply the various organs and tissues of the body. This circulation is responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to the body's cells and removing waste products for elimination.
