- Pulmocutaneous circulation
Pulmocutaneous circulation is the part of the
amphibian circulatory system that directs blood to the skin and the lungs. In the Amphibian Circulatory system, blood flows from theventricle (amphibians only have one) into an artery called theconus arteriosus and from there into either the left or righttruncus arteriosus which each split the ventricle's output into the pulmocutaneous circuit and the systemic circuit.[Biology, "Seventh Edition" Neil A.
