Q

Circulatory system

A

The circulatory system works with the respiratory
system to carry oxygen to cells throughout the
body and to carry carbon dioxide back to the
lungs.

The circulatory system includes the heart, blood,
and blood vessels

Q

Lymphatic system

A
  1. Removal of excess fluids (lymph) from body
    tissues
  2. Absorption of fatty acids and subsequent
    transport of fat to the circulatory system
  3. Formation of white blood cells (WBCs) and
    initiation of immunity through the formation
    of antibodies, creating specific resistance to
    pathogens
