Enlightened witnesses can be those who themselves have risen from the depths. Individuals who have overcome great odds and great adversity. Sometimes this is the very thing required to create lasting empathy and feeling. For when we identify, we can extend ourselves that much more.
The Cardiovascular system links all the parts of our body and consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The Cardiovascular system carries needed substances to cells and carries waste products away from cells.
The four major functions of the cardiovascular system are: 1. To transport nutrients, gases and waste products around the body. 2. To protect the body from infection and blood loss. 3. To help the body maintain a constant body temperature (âthermoregulationâ). 4.he systemic circuit is made up of the heart and all the remaining arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins in the body. This circuit pumps oxygenated (red) blood from the heart to all the tissues, muscles and organs in the body, to provide them with the nutrients and gases they need in order to function.
