The circulatory system is responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, hormones, and oxygen throughout the body while also facilitating the removal of carbon dioxide and other waste products. It interacts closely with the respiratory system, which is responsible for gas exchange; oxygen is absorbed into the blood from the lungs and transported to body tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs to be exhaled.
