    Study Notes

    Cardiovascular System Functions

    • The primary function of the cardiovascular system is to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and metabolites to the body and remove metabolic wastes for detoxification and excretion.

    Peripheral Vascular System

    • The peripheral vascular system includes the blood vessels outside the heart, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries.
    • It extends to the extremities, but does not include the pulmonary, coronary, and neck arteries and veins.

    White Blood Cells Functions

    • The main functions of white blood cells within the cardiovascular system are to defend the body against infection and disease.

    Assessing the Cardiovascular System

    • The learning objectives for assessing the cardiovascular system include conducting a physical health examination.
    • The suggested sequencing for conducting a physical health examination of the cardiovascular system includes a series of steps to perform selected examination procedures.

    Important Facts

    • The cardiovascular system does not primarily function to deliver nutrients, metabolites, and hormones to the body.
    • The main function of white blood cells within the cardiovascular system is not to transport oxygen.
    • The cardiovascular system does transport metabolic wastes for detoxification and excretion.
