- The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that allows blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the body's cells in order to provide nourishment and aid in disease prevention, as well as maintain temperature and pH homeostasis.
- The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and is responsible for lymph circulation.
- Lymph takes a lot longer than blood to move through.
- Blood is a fluid made up of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that is carried by the heart via the vertebrate circulatory system, providing oxygen and nutrition to all body tissues while transporting waste materials away.
- After being filtered from the interstitial fluid (between cells) and returned to the lymphatic system, lymph is essentially recycled extra blood plasma.
- Blood, heart, and blood vessels make up the cardiovascular system (from Latin words meaning "heart" and "vessel").
- The lymphatic system, which includes lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph arteries, returns filtered blood plasma from the interstitial fluid (between cells) as lymph.
