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.
We need a transport system to deliver oxygen, nutrients and other substances to all our body cells, and take away waste products from them. The oxygenated blood (high in oxygen, red in color) comes to the heart from the lungs in the pulmonary vein; the heart pumps it to the aorta (an artery) to the rest of the body.
