Your

circulatory system is made up of the your heart which pumps the blood, blood vessels in which the blood passes, and blood which carries the nutrients and oxygen. Cell respiration is the process in which the bodys cells are nourished and energized.

 The

blood picks up oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the digestive system, which delivers to the bodys cells. The cells use these materials to create energy for the body. Then the blood takes back the wastes.
