The higher animals are composed of billions of cells. Most of these cells are isolated from the external environment and thus unable to draw from it the nutrients and oxygen they need. To solve this problem, the circulatory system serves as an internal conveyor belt enabling the renewal of the interstitial fluid bathing the cells. It is the vital system par excellence: any interruption of the circulatory system leads to nerve disorders within seconds and irreversible damage in minutes.
