The document provides an overview of the human circulatory system. It discusses the major components of the circulatory system including the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the blood vessels. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones and removes waste via the network of arteries, veins and capillaries. The circulatory system works with the respiratory system to oxygenate the blood in the lungs and transport gases and nutrients throughout the body.
