Why is blood circulation in the human heart called double circulation?

Answers (1)

In humans, blood passes through the heart twice during one complete cardiac cycle of the body. Once through the right ventricle to the left auricle of the heart, called pulmonary circulation. Second through the left ventricle to right auricle of the heart through body tissues, called systemic circulation.
