The circulatory system supports cellular functions by transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing carbon dioxide and waste.

Front

What role does the heart play in the circulatory system?

Back

The heart pumps blood throughout the body, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach all cells.

Front

What are arteries and their function?

Back

Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body.

Front

What are veins and their function?

Back

Veins are blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.

Front

What is the role of capillaries in the circulatory system?

Back

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs between blood and cells.

Front

What is the relationship between the circulatory and respiratory systems?

Back
