The human body has two circulatory systems. There is a cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. The cardiovascular system circulates blood. Blood is responsible for distributing oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to tissues throughout the body. Blood flows in a continuous loop through the body. The blood flows through the arteries, capillaries, and veins. The heart pumps the blood and the veins return the blood to the heart.
Lymph is responsible for removing waste products from tissue. Lymph only flows in one direction after it enters the lymphatic vessels. Lymph is not pumped. Lymph flows from the tissues into the lymph capillaries. Flow in the lymphatic system is controlled by unrelated body movements like breathing and the actions
