The circulatory system transports blood, nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and waste throughout the body. The major parts include blood, the heart, and blood vessels. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste. The heart has four chambers and pumps blood through two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. Diseases can occur if the circulatory system is not working properly, such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. Proper diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking can help prevent some of these diseases.
