| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The main components of the human cardiovascular system are the heart and the blood vessels. It includes: the pulmonary circulation, a "loop" through the lungs where blood is oxygenated; and the systemic circulation, a "loop" through the rest of the body to provide oxygenated blood. An average adult contains five to six quarts of blood, which consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Also, the digestive system works with the circulatory system to provide the nutrients the system needs to keep the heart pumping. This book studies the components of circulatory system including pulmonary artery, arterial tree, human heart, and blood.
