The basic function of the circulatory system

The circulatory system is an incredible network of over 96,00 kilometers of blood vessels. The main role of the circulatory system is to transport nutrients to the cells and removing waste from the cells. The circulatory system consist of:

• The heart
  
  
• Blood
  
  
• Blood vessels
  
  
• Lymphatic vessels
  

The heart is the primary organ of the circulatory system, it is responsible for pumping blood and control blood pressure in the circulatory. A strong heart is important in maintaining good circulation.

As with any muscle, the heart needs to be exercised aerobically. Poor circulation can be the result of clogged arteries, or "dirty, thick" blood. Purifying the blood is important.

Poor circulation can lead to cold hands and feet, or tingling in the hands and feet, also fatigue and forgetfulness.

Heart disease is the leading killer of Canadian women, with a quicker acceleration risk of heart disease after menopause.

The blood supplies every body cells with the life giving oxygen and all the materials needed to carry away waste.

The blood vessels consist of arteries, capillaries and veins.

• Arteries are living tubes with an outer layer of muscle. They allow for nutrient delivery to be adjusted according to the part of the body that needs it most.
  
  
• Capillaries are the tiniest blood vessels. They carry blood to the areas of the body farthest from the heart.
  
  
• Veins carry blood , now devoid of oxygen and full of carbon dioxide and other cell waste, away for cleansing the kidneys and re-oxygenation in the lungs.
