Chapter 12, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The heart and the circulatory system make up the cardiovascular system. It is made up of heart, blood, and the blood vessels. The main blood vessels include the arteries, the capillaries, and the veins. The proper functioning of the heart and the blood vessels ensure the proper supply of oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body and in turn the removal of the waste products from them.
