This system involves the circulation of blood and transporting nutrients. All these nutrients help fight diseases and it maintains homeostasis. The structure consist of:

  1. Closed cardiovascular system
  2. The heart is where oxygenated blood is being pumped to the body. The heart consist of a right and left atrium and a right and a left ventricle.
  3. The coronary system brings blood to the heart muscles.
  4. Oxygen-depleted blood is pumped from the heart into the lungs. Then it is returned back to the heart.
  5. Systemic circulation circulates blood everywhere.
