The heart, the lungs, and the veins and arteries (blood vessels) make up the circulatory system. Working together, they ensure that blood flows through the whole network that makes up the human body (systemic circulation), as well as within the lungs (pulmonary circulation) and the heart (coronary circulation).eins and arteries are known as blood vessels. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood toward the heart. The major blood vessels that branch out of the heart are the aorta, the vena cava, and the pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins.
Overview. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, which is an anatomical pump, with its intricate conduits (arteries, veins, and capillaries) that traverse the whole human body carrying blood. vein is a blood vessel that has a larger lumen, and sometimes veins serve as blood reservoirs or capacitance vessels, containing valves that prevent backflow. This system of vessels in general returns blood to the heart from the periphery (see the image below). Veins: blood flow and valve structure.
