The circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart,blood vessels,and blood which is circulated throughout the entire body of a human or other vertebrate. It includes the cardiovascular system,or vascular system,that consists of the heart and blood vessels. The circulatory system has two divisions,a systemic circulation or circuit,and a pulmonary circulation or circuit. Some sources use the terms cardiovascular system and vascular system interchangeably with circulatory system.
