Expert Solution
Introduction

The cardiovascular system of the human body is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels that help to transport nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body. Also, the function of the system is to transport waste like carbon dioxide away from cells.

Blood is a bodily fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Blood vessels are tube-like structures that transport blood through the body. The human body consists of three types of blood vessels namely arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood. Capillaries are thin blood vessels that connect arteries and veins.
