What are the primary functions of the circulatory system?

Answer 1

-Transports needed nutrients and oxygen around the body

-Removes carbon dioxide, water, and wastes from around the body

Answer 2

At first I thought you were referring to the human circulatory system!

The Walker circulation or Thermohaline circulation is where cold, dense, salty water sinks in the arctic and Antarctic. This water flows along the sea floor, moving towards the poles. Warmer water from the equator then replaces this.

In terms of global warming, more ice is melting in the summer. Icebergs don't contain as much salt, and do they dilute the oceans at both poles. This reduces the density of the water, meaning it doesn't sink as efficiently. This in turn can slow or even stop ocean flows such as The Gulf Stream. the circulation is very significant- research it online for more info.

Answer 3

To deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the cells, and to remove waste.
The major functions of the circulatory system include transportation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. The circulatory system is responsible for keeping limbs like arms well oxygenated.

Answer 4

The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels of the body. It carries blood to all of the cells of the body, supplying oxygen, nutrients, and enzymes to maintain their function. It exchanges these for carbon dioxide and wastes.

Red blood cells collect oxygen in the lungs, and transport carbon dioxide back to be exhaled. White blood cells protect the body from infection by bacteria and other organisms. Glucose, protein, and fat are carried in blood to the cells, along with essential elements, vitamins, and minerals. Waste, dead cells, and other by-products are transported from the cells to the kidneys and liver for excretion or metabolism.

The circulatory system is responsible for transporting materials (wastes and nutrients) around the body and for regulating body temperature.

Answer 5

The main function and duty of the circulatory system is to permit blood to circulate and transport nutrients throughout the body. It allows amino acids, electrolytes, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to move about.

Answer 6

To bring oxygen and remove CO2 and other wastes.

Answer 7

To pump blood cells which contain oxygen to the body.
