The immune and circulatory systems are interconnected as they are both major human organ systems {fact:1, fact:3}, with the circulatory system transporting immune cells and proteins [1] and the lymphatic system acting as a bridge between the two [2]. Additionally, the skeletal system serves as a shared foundation for both by producing blood cells [3].
