2) The primary functions of the circulatory system is to supply blood to all of its tissues‚ transport nutrients to its cells‚ and transport gas.

This aspect consequently means that the Emperor is able to efficiently absorb heat and light from the sun and warm its body up relatively fast. Another favourable aspect of the Emperor Penguins development
