Anti-stress tips for improved well-being
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Simply said, it pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen, the heart sends the oxygenated blood through the rest of the body, and the veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to start the circulation process over. The main function of this system is to provide oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to tissues, muscles, and organs in your body. It also disposes waste from cells and organs in your body.
