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