text: The circulatory system (also known as the cardiovascular system) is responsible for respiration (transporting oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from cells), nutrition (carrying nutrients from digested food substances to the cells of the body), waste removal (disposing cellular waste products and poisons that may have been consumed during the digestion process), immunity (fighting against infectious agents such as pathogens), cellular communication (ensuring that that the transport and the function of the hormones remain steady) and thermoregulation or homeostasis (maintaining the body’s internal temperature by transporting heat).
