The circulatory system is an organ system that helps to transport substances

inside our bodies. This system consists of heart, blood, and blood vessels.
Heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood to all parts of the body. Blood is a fluid
that is carried by blood vessels to all parts of the body. It forms a medium through
which nutrients, water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are transported inside our
body.
Blood vessels are thin tubes that run through the entire body to transport blood.
Arteries, veins, and capillaries are the three types of blood vessels.

2. What is excretion? Describe the various parts of the excretory system.

The process by which wastes get removed from our body is called excretion. The
excretory system consists of a pair of kidneys, a urinary bladder, a pair of tubes
called ureters, and a urethra. The formation of urine takes place in kidneys. The
urine contains harmful waste products formed inside the body. Ureters carry the
urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. The urine is stored in the urinary
bladder. The urethra helps to pass the urine out of the body.
