1 Cardiovascular System

2 » The heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

3 1. Brings oxygen and nutrients to cells 2. Removes metabolic waste products

4 In the pulmonary circulation, blood picks up oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide In the systemic circulation, blood gives off oxygen (and other nutrients) to cells and picks up carbon dioxide (and other waste products).

38

39 NIH: Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body.

40 » Development is a life long process that begins with the fatty steaks seen on arterial walls.
