Q

Functions of the cardiovascular system

A

-Delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and organs in the body
-Transports hormones to target cells
-Removes metabolic waste (ex: carbon dioxide)
-Protects the body against disease through the circulation of WBCs, antibodies, and complement cells
-Regulates body temperature
