What Does CV System do?
Circulate blood throughout entire body
what does blood transport in the body
–Transport of oxygen to cells; –Transport of CO2 away from cells; –Transport of nutrients (glucose) to cells; –Movement of immune system components (cells, antibodies); –Transport of endocrine gland secretions
