Question

How long is the circulatory system?

Answer 1

Circulatory system:

1. The circulatory system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood itself, is critical for disease prevention and homeostasis maintenance (proper temperature and pH balance).
2. The main function of the system is to transport blood, nutrients, gases, and hormones to and from cells throughout the body.

Length of circulatory system:

End-to-end, the arteries, capillaries, and veins in one adult would stretch approximately 60,000 miles (100,000 kilometers).
