1. The three major parts of the circulatory system are the heart, blood vessel and blood. 2. The heart pumps the blood throughout the body. 3. The blood vessel carries the blood throughout the body. a.The arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues and organs in the body. b. The veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. c. The capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting the smallest arteries to the smallest veins. It is the actual site where gases and nutrients are exchanged. 4. Blood transports the materials throughout the body.
