Functions of the Circulatory System
The circulatory system functions with other body systems to provide the following:
Transport of materials:
Gasses transported: Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the cells. CO2 (a waste) is transported from the cells to the lungs.
Transport other nutrients to cells - For example, glucose, a simple sugar used to produce ATP, is transported throughout the body by the circulatory system. Immediately after digestion, glucose is transported to the liver. The liver maintains a constant level of glucose in the blood.
Transport other wastes from cells - For example, ammonia is produced as a result of protein digestion. It is transported to the liver where it is converted to less toxic urea. Urea is then transported to the kidneys for excretion in the urine.
Transport hormones - Numerous hormones that help maintain constant internal conditions are transported by the circulatory system.
Contains cells that fight infection
Helps stabilize the pH and ionic concentration of the body fluids.
It helps maintain body temperature by transporting heat. This is particularly important in homeothermic animals such as birds and mammals.
The cardiovascular system functions to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells, remove waste products from the body, and regulate body temperature and pH balance.
No, the brain is not part of the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels responsible for pumping and circulating blood throughout the body. The brain is part of the central nervous system and controls cognitive and physiological functions.
The endocrine and cardiovascular systems are interdependent by the fact that the endocrine system relies on the cardiovascular system to deliver the hormone and neuropeptide products of endocrine glands. For example testosterone must be transported by the blood stream to in order to affect the bodies tissues. Likewise, the cardiovascular system relies on the endocrine system for hormonal input into the functions of the heart and blood vessels. For example, angiotensin released by the kidney signals arteries to constrict and indirectly cause an increase in heart rate.
They enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances and between blood and surrounding tissues.
The cardiovascular provides for all of the body's cells.
William Harvey helped found the cardiovascular system. He was the first to provide a complete and comprehensive description of the entire system and its functions. He was known as the Father of Cardiovascular Medicine.

It would be the cardiovascular system.
the lymphatic system only carries fluid away from tissues

Circulatory system and Cardiovascular system
No, the brain is not part of the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels responsible for pumping and circulating blood throughout the body. The brain is part of the central nervous system and controls cognitive and physiological functions.
The cardiovascular system sends oxygen to the muscles.
