The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels, like veins and arteries. There is a related system to the cardiovascular system called the lymphatic system which moves lymphatic fluid through the spleen, lymphatic tissues, and lymphatic vessels. Some sources consider these two to be one system, the circulatory system, because they both "circulate" fluids in the body.
