The cardiovascular system is made up of the ____________ . *The ____________ pumps blood through the body. The blood is always contained in the ____________ . *This movement of blood is termed ____________ , the purpose of which is to service the cells by providing oxygen and nutrients while removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. *This exchange takes place within the ____________ that surrounds the cells.

The function of the circulatory system is to transport and to cells and carry away from cells to the organs responsible for eliminating them from the body. When the heart , it produces pressure which pushes the blood to the different parts of the body. The are responsible for transporting blood away from the heart while the carry blood back to the heart including the waste gas To prevent the blood from flowing backwards there are flexible flaps of tissue called Arteries and veins are connected by tiny, thin-walled The of nutrients, wastes, oxygen and carbon dioxide occur between the capillaries.

The respiratory system works directly with the circulatory system to provide ___________ to the body. This substance moves into the __________________ that circulates the oxygen-rich blood to tissues and cells in the body. Arteries carries blood ________ from the heart while _________ conducts blood towards the heart. Blood flow refers to the movement of blood through a vessel, tissue, or organ, and is usually expressed in terms of volume of blood per unit of time. It is initiated by the contraction of the ventricles of the heart. Ventricular contraction ejects blood into the major arteries, resulting in flow from regions of __________________ to regions of lower pressure, as blood encounters smaller arteries and arterioles, then capillaries, then the venules and veins of the venous system.
