    The circulatory system transports blood throughout the body via arteries, veins and capillaries. The heart pumps blood through a double circulatory system: from the right ventricle to the lungs via pulmonary arteries and back to the left ventricle to the body. Main blood vessels include the pulmonary vein, pulmonary artery, aorta and vena cava. The circulatory system works closely with the respiratory system to oxygenate blood in the lungs and transport it to tissues and organs. Risk factors such as diet, lifestyle and environment can increase chances of diseases like heart disease.
