Contains cells that fight infection

Helps stabilize the pH and ionic concentration of the body fluids.

It helps maintain body temperature by transporting heat. This is
particularly important in homoeothermic animals such as birds and

      Brings oxygen (from the respiratory system) and nutrients (from the digestive
       system) to cells

      Takes waste away from the cells in blood vessels called veins

      Transmits chemical signals throughout the body

      The system circulates oxygen to all parts of the body which is required for
       particular cellular processes such as making ATP
