What is meant by double circulation? What is its significance?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Double circulation involves circulation of blood twice through the heart to supply it once to the body . It is more efficient than single circulation of fishes because blood flows at higher pressure and speed which increases the rate of not only nutrient supply to the body tissues but also faster removal of wastes from them.
