Blood has several function that help to maintain homeostasis
- transports nutrients
- transports gases
- transports hormones
- transports wastes
- helps to maintain body temperature

The Lymphatic System

The Lymphatic system collects leaked cell fluids, cleans it, and returns it to the blood

The Circulatory System

The Lymphatic System and the Cardiovascular System make up the Circulatory System. Together they work to move liquids through the body and protect it from disease

The Respiratory System

The Respiratory System moves air in and out of the body so that oxygen can be absorbed in blood and carbon dioxide can be eliminated. This happens in the alveoli.

The Cardiovascular System

The Cardiovascular System delivers nutrients, gases, and hormones to all of the cells in the body.

The Cardiovascular & Respiratory System

The cardiovascular and respiratory system work together in this way. The lungs bring oxygen into the body and the cardiovascular system delivers that oxygen to the cells. In return, the blood brings CO2 back to the lungs, and it is exhaled.
