[[File:CirculatorySystem.png|right|300px250px|thumb|A diagram showing the circulatory system including the [[heart]] and [[Blood Vessel|blood vessels]].]]The '''Circulatory System''' is a group of organs [[organ]]s that work together to carry [[oxygen]] and [[nutrients]] around the body.
===About the Circulatory System===
: The '''circulatory system''' is how nutrients [[nutrient]]s and [[oxygen ]] are transported to every part of the body.
: The '''circulatory system''' is made up of the [[heart]], [[Blood Vessel|blood vessels]] and the [[blood]].
: If the '''circulatory system''' stops working all the [[organ]]s in the body will run out of [[oxygen]] and die.
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
The '''circulatory system''' is a transport system found in some [[animal]]s used to transport [[oxygen]], [[nutrient]]s and waste around the body.
===About the Circulatory System===
The '''circulatory system''' is made of:
*The [[heart]] - An [[organ]] which pumps [[blood]].
*[[artery|Arteries]] - [[Blood Vessel]]s which transport [[blood]] away from the [[heart]].
*[[Vein]]s - [[Blood Vessel]]s which transport [[blood]] towards the [[heart]].
*[[capillary|Capillaries]] - Extremely small [[Blood Vessel]]s that spread through the [[organ]]s to deliver the [[blood]].

===Meaning===
The '''circulatory system''' is a transport system found in some [[animal]]s used to transport [[oxygen]], [[nutrient]]s, waste and [[hormone]]s around the body.
===About the Circulatory System===
The '''circulatory system''' is made of:
*The [[heart]] - An [[organ]] which pumps [[blood]].
*[[artery|Arteries]] - [[Blood Vessel]]s which transport high pressure [[blood]] away from the [[heart]].
*[[Vein]]s - [[Blood Vessel]]s which transport low pressure [[blood]] towards the [[heart]].
*[[capillary|Capillaries]] - Extremely small [[Blood Vessel]]s that spread through the [[organ]]s to deliver the [[blood]].
