The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is a network of organs and tissues that work together to transport blood, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other vital substances throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. The circulatory system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, the internal balance of the body.
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins carry blood back to the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass from the blood into the tissues, and waste products to pass from the tissues into the blood.
The circulatory system is essential for life. Without it, the body would not be able to get the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function, and waste products would not be able to be removed from the body.
