Download Circulatory System - Bingham-5th-2012


The circulatory system is located
everywhere because the circulatory
system is how blood is pumped through
your veins, and your veins are
everywhere.

The heart is a major function because it
controls the blood flow. The heart pumps
the blood through the body and that’s
where the blood returns.

The circulatory system works with the
excretory system because the blood
carries carbon dioxide from the cells to
the heart which it goes up to the lungs. It
also carries other waste products to the
liver or kidneys. If your system does not
carry the waste you might have a
stomach ache.
