Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body and remove carbon dioxide, while white blood cells defend against infection and foreign materials. Platelets prevent bleeding. The circulatory system includes arteries that carry blood away from the heart, veins that carry blood toward the heart, and capillaries that connect arteries and veins and allow for gas and nutrient exchange. The four main blood vessels connected to the heart are the inferior and superior vena cavae, aorta, and pulmonary artery.

- 4. Arteries Arteries are elastic vessels that transports blood away from the heart. Veins Veins are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Cappilaries Cappilaries are extremely small vessels located within the tissues of the body that transport blood from the arteries to the veins
- 5. There are 4 main blood vessels connected to the heart which consists of: - inferior vena cave - superior vena cava - aorta - pulmonary artery
- 6. Large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.
- 7. Short vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart’s right atrium .
- 8. Distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through the systemic circulation
- 9. Carries deoxygenated blood to the corresponding lungs .
