What is the major circulatory system?

Circulatory system is a combination of vessels and cardiac muscles that aid blood flow around the body

Major organs

Heart - cardiac muscles are essential in pumping of blood to all parts of the body

It does the pumping 60 to 100 minutes in 24hrs a day .The atrium receives oxygen –poor blood from the body. That blood then flows into the right ventricle, which plumbs it to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs .From there, the blood flows into the left ventricle, which plumbs blood out of the heart to the rest of the body

Lungs – essential in exchange of blood gases , deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary artery is directed towards the lungs for exchange carbon dioxide to oxygen , oxygenated blood is channel back to the heart via pulmonary vein

Blood vessels –channel through which blood is transported to and fro from all body organs consists of capillaries arteries and veins arties distribute oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the tissues ,

Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues to the right side of the heart

Capillarity vessels connect arterial Venus system and are sight of exchange of nutrients and metabolic waste between circulatory system and tissues

Blood- a fluid in human that delivers nutrients oxygen to the cells and transport metabolic away from the cells.

Lymph-consists of lymphatic vessels that transport lymphatic fluids to the veins circulation

Lymphatic vessels provide the only means by which the intestinal proteins return to the Venus system
