The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. It supplies the body with oxygen and nutrients and carries away carbon dioxide and waste products.
The heart is a powerful pump responsible for delivering blood to all the vital organs through a complex network of arteries and veins. The arteries are the pipelines through which the heart pumps blood throughout the body.
It is essential that your heart, veins and arteries remain in good condition.
