Cardiovascular System: - Purpose: The cardiovascular system circulates blood throughout the body, delivering essential substances like oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs, and removing waste products. - Main organs: - Heart: Pumps blood through the body. - Blood vessels: Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, veins return oxygen-poor blood to the heart, and capillaries facilitate the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other substances between blood and tissues. - Primary function: Maintain circulation, support cellular metabolism, regulate body temperature, and help in immune responses. 2. Respiratory System: - Purpose: The respiratory system facilitates the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the body and the environment. - Main organs: - Lungs: Primary site of gas exchange. - Trachea: Air passage that connects the larynx to the bronchi. -…arrow_forward
