blóðrásarkerfið
The blóðrásarkerfið, or circulatory system, is a vital organ system responsible for the transport of nutrients, oxygen, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. It is a complex network consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart acts as a powerful pump, driving the circulation of blood. Blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, form a closed system through which blood flows. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart. Capillaries are tiny vessels where the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste occurs between the blood and the body's tissues.
The primary function of the blóðrásarkerfið is to deliver oxygen from the lungs to all cells in
