Body fluids and circulation
, THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
This system is concerned with the circulation of body fluids to
distribute various substances to various body parts. The circulatory
system is also known as the cardiovascular system. It is an organ
system that allows blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as
electrolytes and amino acids), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and
blood cells. These are circulated to and from cells in the body to
nourish it. The components of the human circulatory system include
the heart, blood, red and white blood cells, platelets, and the lymphatic
system.
