Wiki User · Answer

Because, it's the circulatory system, which through the medium of blood and the channel of blood vessels transports oxygen to all organs and parts of the body. Water as well as the nutrients in food after assimilation are also transported to all the muscles and tissues through this system . Its also the circulatory system through which different hormones and secretions produced in the body are transported, hence the transport system.

The circulatory system is named as such because it circulates blood, which carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body. This system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, working together to transport essential substances to cells and tissues.

Wiki User · Answer

The circulatory system transports almost everything in the human body.  Oxygen from the lungs is pumped in the blood to the heart, which then pumps that blood throughout the entire body. Nutrients are absorbed through capillaries near the small intestine, and are also transported throughout the body. Cells in every part of the body are fed nutrients, and supplied with oxygen through the circulatory system. Cells then transfer their waste - CO2 and other substances like urea into the blood (which technically floats in the plasma...) and those are taken to the waste organs (liver, kidneys).  Basically, the blood brings everything, everywhere.
