Introduction:
The circulatory system is one of the most important systems in the human body. It is also called as the cardiovascular system; it nourishes organs with oxygen along with other important minerals. At the same time, it takes away carbon di-oxide from the blood as well as other waste products. The circulatory system flows with blood via vessels; there are three different vessels, the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The arteries carry oxygenated blood to organs and veins carry de-oxygenated blood from organs, while the capillaries act a connection in between veins and arteries.
