Circulatory System

The Circulatory System is the body system where the heart pumps blood throughout the body through arteries and veins. The circulatory system also transports nutrients such as amino acids, eletrolytes, and lymph; gases, hormones, blood cells, et cetera. To and from cells to help prevent diseases, maintain body temperature and pH, and to maintain homeostasis.

Cardiothoracic Surgery deals heavily with the circulatory system.
