Hey,

Peripheral circulation deals with the transport of blood, blood flow distribution, exchange between blood and tissue, and storage of blood (venous system).The peripheral vascular system is the part of the circulation system that consists of the veins and arteries in hands, feets, leg, etc.

The peripheral circulation is extremely important for transporting blood around the body, exchange of nutrients with tissues.

It comprises the systemic circulation, which supplies blood to all parts of the body except the lungs, and the pulmonary circulation, which supplies blood to the lungs. Its function is to alter the blood distribution to meet the needs of the different tissues.

Hope this helps!
