circulation
This word is primarily used as an uncountable noun when referring to the movement of blood, air, or information. When talking about newspapers or magazines, it can be used as a countable noun to describe specific figures (e.g., 'a circulation of 50,000'). In medical contexts, it is almost always paired with 'blood' or used alone when the biological context is already clear.
