Blood serves as the primary transport medium for nutrients throughout the body, as evidenced by its role in delivering these substances to cells and tissues via the cardiovascular system [1], [2], [3], [4]. Furthermore, nutrients are absorbed into the blood following digestion [5] and are exchanged with cells through capillaries [6], [7].

claimThe cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to maintain homeostasis by circulating blood to transport oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing carbon dioxide waste.
claimThe cardiovascular system functions to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body via blood, and to eliminate carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste.
claimThe cardiovascular system circulates blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues while removing waste products and carbon dioxide generated by metabolism.
claimThe major functions of the cardiovascular system include the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body within the blood, as well as the elimination of carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste.
claimBlood leaves the heart via arteries, which reduce in size to become arterioles, which then end in a web of capillaries where the exchange of gases and nutrients occurs.

procedureSystemic circulation involves the left side of the heart pumping oxygen-rich blood through the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries and capillaries to exchange oxygen and nutrients with cells, before deoxygenated blood returns to the heart via veins.
claimBlood plasma is the liquid portion of blood that carries cells, nutrients, waste, hormones, and antibodies.
quoteYour circulatory system, or cardiovascular system, supplies oxygen and nutrients to your whole body and removes waste through your blood. Your heart pumps blood that flows through your arteries, veins and capillaries. These blood vessels and your heart form your circulatory system. They work together to ensure your cells have what they need.

claimThe human digestive system is composed of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines; it functions to break down food into nutrients for absorption into the blood or lymph and eliminates unusable food portions as fecal matter.
claimThe circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood, and blood vessels; it circulates transport fluid to provide cells with oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products like carbon dioxide and toxic nitrogen compounds.
