Circulate blood throughout entire body for
Transport of oxygen to cells
Transport of CO2 away from cells
Transport of nutrients (glucose) to cells
Movement of immune system components (cells, antibodies)
Transport of endocrine gland secretions
Heart is pump
Arteries and veins are main tubes.
Arteries Away from Heart
Veins to Heart
Diffusion happens in capillaries (oxygen, CO2, glucose diffuse in or out of blood)

Arteries Away from Heart
Veins to Heart
Diffusion happens in capillaries (oxygen, CO2, glucose diffuse in or out of blood)
Heart/Great Vessels--1 Route
Smaller aa. vv.--many routes (collateral circulation)
Capillaries—network where diffusion occurs
Location of Heart in Chest
Rt and Lft Coronary Arteries
Branch from Ascending Aorta
Have multiple branches along heart
Sit in Coronary Sulcus
Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiac Veins
Coronary Sinus (largest)
Many branches feed into sinus
