Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
List the functions of the cardiovascular system.
Expert Solution & Answer

Summary Introduction
To list: Functions of cardiovascular system.
Introduction: The cardiovascular system is also known as circulatory system. The cardiovascular system is composed of two components: heart and the blood vessels.
Explanation of Solution
The functions of cardiovascular system are as follows:
- • The general function of a cardiovascular system is to circulate the blood throughout the body to meet the requirements of body cells. The cells need a continuous delivery of nutrients and oxygen, and removal of carbon dioxide and other waste products to stay healthy. The heart is the most important organ of the circulatory system. It is a muscular organ that pumps the oxygenated blood to every part of the body. The three types of the blood vessels are arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- • It ensures the immune protection and confirms the appropriate functioning of the body as a unit.
