The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is a complex network responsible for the transportation of blood, nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood itself. The primary function of this system is to ensure that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to tissues and organs while facilitating the removal of carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes. Additionally, the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, regulating body temperature, and supporting the immune system by distributing white blood cells and antibodies.

The nervous system is a sophisticated network of cells and tissues that coordinates the body's responses to internal and external stimuli. It is divided into two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of all the nerves that branch out from the CNS to the rest of the body. The primary functions of the nervous system include processing sensory information, controlling motor functions, and facilitating communication between different body parts. By transmitting electrical signals, the nervous system enables rapid responses to changes, regulates bodily functions, and is essential for cognitive processes such as thinking, learning, and memory.
