THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: STRUCTURE OF THE HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS

Abstract
The cardiovascular system is essential for sustaining life, enabling the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body. This article examines the structure of the heart and blood vessels, outlining their components, functions, and interrelatedness. The heart serves as the central pump that drives blood through the network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of these structures is crucial for diagnosing and treating various cardiovascular diseases. The article provides an in-depth look at the cardiovascular system's role in maintaining homeostasis, its functional components, and the impacts of dysfunction in the system.
Keywords
Cardiovascular system, heart structure, blood vessels, arteries, veins, capillaries, circulation, cardiovascular diseases, homeostasis.
