The Cardiovascular system links all the parts of our body and consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The Cardiovascular system carries needed substances to cells and carries waste products away from cells.
Functions of the Cardiovascular System. The cardiovascular system has three major functions: transportation of materials, protection from pathogens, and regulation of the bodyâs homeostasis. Transportation: The cardiovascular system transports blood to almost all of the bodyâs tissues. The blood delivers essential nutrients and oxygen and removes wastes and carbon dioxide to be processed or removed from the body. Hormones are transported throughout the body via the bloodâs liquid plasma.
