Cardiovascular system: The circulatory system: The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins. As blood begins to circulate‚ it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for

The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in circulating blood throughout the body to maintain human life. The system consists of a heart and blood vessels that help delivers blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the body organs and tissues for function. The heart is a muscular body organ located on the left side of a human chest. The heart has four chambers are known as the right atrium‚ right ventricle‚ left atrium and the left ventricle.
