Cardiovascular System Definition:
Works with the _____________________ system and the _________________________ system
Functions:
- Transport __________________ to all Parts of Body Allow ___________________, Gases, and Wastes to be

White Blood Cells Help ________Disease and Infection
- All Body systems are __________________ on the

Blood Pressure-When blood is pushed through blood
vessels it puts pressure on the blood vessels.
It is important to keep a healthy blood pressure so that
materials in blood can get to all parts of your body.
