The circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of our body. Similarly, it also transports the waste carbon dioxide produced by cells to the lungs to remove it. Circulatory system also supplies nutrients to all parts of the body with the help of blood. Moreover, it also removes other cellular wastes such as urea. These wastes are transported to the excretory system to be removed from the body.
