      The cardiovascular system is the heart, all of your blood vessels, and blood itself. Basically, things that are responsible for, and involved in moving blood around your body.

      It’s a very important system. I would say that though I suppose :-). The World Health Organisation tell us that cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of early preventable death around the world.
