Cardiovascular
Systema cardiovasculare
The cardiovascular system circulates blood throughout the body via the heart and a vast network of blood vessels. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, removes metabolic waste products, and helps regulate body temperature. The system includes the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries, with approximately 96,000 kilometers of blood vessels in the adult body.
