What is the cardiovascular system
The cardiovascular system is the body system made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. It transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and removes waste products.

What is the function of the pancreas in the endocrine system
The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels
400
What is the function of red blood cells
Red blood cells carry oxygen using a protein called hemoglobin
400
What are the main functions of the skeletal system
Support the body
Protect organs (like the brain and heart)
Help with movement
Produce blood cells
Store minerals (like calcium)
400
What are alveoli
Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood

How do the respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs. The cardiovascular system carries that oxygen in the blood to the rest of the body
