First of all, we should explain how circulation and blood flow work. The blood circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, comprises the heart and all the blood vessels that run throughout the entire body. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while the veins transport it back. There are two additional circulatory systems that make up the cardiovascular system: the systemic and pulmonary systems. Systemic circulation is what transports oxygen and nutrient-rich blood through our arteries to our organs, tissues (that includes our muscles) and cells.
