How does blood transport through the body? It is because of a very important organ called the heart. The heart pumps blood to the body through our blood vessels. The heart's upper chamber called the atrium receives blood that comes into the heart while the ventricles in the lower chamber of the heart pump blood out of it. The valve is a flap of tissue that sits in between those two and prevents the blood from going backwards.

Now, why is the cardiovascular system important? First of all, it consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Also known as the circulatory system, it delivers needed materials, removes wastes, regulates body temperatures, and fights disease. It transports oxygen from your lungs and glucose from your digestive system to your body cells which are much needed materials. As for removing waste, it transports Carbon Dioxide from your body cells to your lungs, where it is exhaled. The amount of blood flow in your skin changes to help carry heat away or prevent heat loss which helps to regulate your body temperature. Lastly, your blood contains cells that help you to fight diseases. We now know just how important the cardiovascular (circulatory) system is with all of its functions to help the body work.
