The circulatory system is responsible for transporting substances like oxygen, nutrients, hormones around the body, and removing carbon dioxide and wastes to be eliminated. It has three main components: blood, blood vessels, and the heart. Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues, and carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. It also transports nutrients, waste, secretions, and helps regulate temperature and fluid balance. The heart has four chambers and valves that pump blood through two circuits - pulmonary circulation to the lungs and systemic circulation to the body. An aneurysm is a bulge or weakening in an artery wall.
