From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell
Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body
Blood removes waste products such as
carbon dioxide
from the body's tissues and transports it back to the lungs where it is exhaled
Blood also contains
hormones
that control various functions within the body
the heart sends blood throughout our bodies, carrying oxygen to every cell and removing waste products
blood flows through arteries, veins and capillaries
veins carry blood towards the heart
capillaries are tiny vessels which connect arteries with veins
The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and blood.
arteries take blood away from the heart
Capillaries
allow exchange between cells and blood
Blood is made up of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
blood vessels carries blood away from and towards the heart
Blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body
