Don’t Let Circulation Problems Stop You Cold
About the Circulatory System
The circulatory system consists of arteries and veins that carry blood throughout the body. Arteries carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood from the heart to the organs and cells. Veins carry oxygen-depleted blood and wastes through the kidneys, liver, and lungs, where wastes are filtered out and removed from the body. THe venous blood is then again filled with oxygen in the lungs and returned back to the heart. The arteries and veins are connected by small weblike vessels called capillaries.
Did you know?
Disorders of the circulatory system are very common in the United States and occur mostly in people age 50 and older.
Circulatory disorders are among the leading causes of disability among people older than 50 and among those with diabetes.
Disorders of the circulatory system include peripheral vascular disease, which is caused by build-up of fatty material within the vessels that causes the arteries to become blocked, narrowed, or weakened.
