The circulatory system moves blood throughout the body using the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products as it circulates through the body in a closed system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The circulatory system is divided into the systemic circulation, pulmonary circulation, and coronary circulation. Forces like blood pressure and heart rate influence the flow of blood through the body and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and tissues.
