Cardiovascular System Components
Description
While the heart, which is a powerful automatic pump, is the cardiovascular component we think of most often, the blood and the blood vessels are also components vital to health. Five to six liters of blood transport oxygen and nutrients to all cells in your body and carry waste products to systems that eliminate them. Most of your blood is made up of a watery, protein-laden fluid called plasma. Less than half the blood volume is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
