This document provides a summary of the circulatory system and cardiovascular system in animals. It discusses how circulatory systems transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste; the differences between open and closed circulatory systems; the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels; blood pressure; blood types; and capillary exchange. Key points include that circulatory systems transport materials throughout the body, vertebrates have closed circulatory systems, the heart pumps blood through two circuits in mammals, and blood must be properly matched for transfusions.
