1. The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones and cellular waste throughout the body using the heart and blood vessels.
2. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava and is pumped to the right ventricle. It then enters the pulmonary artery and is oxygenated in the lungs before returning to the left atrium via pulmonary veins.
3. Oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle through the aorta and smaller arteries to tissues, where oxygen and nutrients diffuse into cells and waste diffuses out, before returning to the heart via veins to repeat the cycle.
