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 system function to transport waste gases like carbon dioxide away from cells.

Blood is a bodily fluid that is made up of four important constituents called plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The red blood cells(RBC) contain a protein called hemoglobin that binds to the oxygen molecule and carry them throughout the body. The red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
