Circulatory System and its Components
In human beings, the various organs associated with this system include the heart, lungs, blood vessels, capillaries, and blood. The heart is the pumping organ that squirts out blood. The heart does this with so much pressure that it is capable of squirting blood up to 9 meters high. It never stops and beats continuously so that blood can travel to all parts of the body.
Your blood travels through these blood vessels transporting oxygen, carbon dioxide, digested food, hormones and even waste products. It is amazing to see how transportation in human beings is carried out by the circulatory system, with the heart and the vast network of blood vessels.
