Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The movement of nutrients and oxygen is required by all animals for the maintenance of homeostasis. The circulatory system of humans is a complex network of blood vessels and capillaries throughout the body. This extensive network is required for the cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems as they supply oxygen and nutrients. It can remove carbon dioxide and waste compounds as well.
