The heart, blood arteries, and blood make up the circulatory system, often known as the cardiovascular system. It carries oxygen, hormones, and nutrients to all of the body’s cells, as well as waste materials created by metabolic processes to other organs for disposal. The heart supplies the “muscle” that allows blood to circulate throughout the body. The pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit are the two circuits that circulate blood in the body.
Arteries – carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
Veins – carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart to be pumped to the lungs to become oxygenated
Vena Cava – the body’s biggest vein and delivers blood from different parts of the body to the heart. The superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava are the two portions of the vena cava. Blood is carried from the head, neck, arms, and chest through the superior vena cava. The inferior vena cava transports blood from the legs, foot, and abdominal and pelvic organs.
