Blood circulation

Overview

Blood circulation refers to the continuous movement of blood within the cardiovascular system, powered by the heart, through arteries, capillaries, and veins. This process is essential for delivering oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and immune cells to tissues while removing waste products. Blood circulation enables systemic and pulmonary transport: systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body, while pulmonary circulation exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen in the lungs. It is necessary for sustaining life, and disruptions in circulation lead to many health conditions, including heart attack, stroke, and shock.
