The cardiovascular system produces more blood vessels, blood volume, and blood pressure.
During reproduction, especially during pregnancy, the cardiovascular system adapts to support the growing fetus. This includes an increase in blood volume to meet the metabolic demands, the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), and an increase in blood pressure to ensure adequate blood flow to both the mother and the developing fetus.
