Abstract
The heart and the arterial system are such close functional complements that the circulatory system cannot be effectively described by either one alone. Only by virtue of the distributing arterial trees can oxygen, humoral agents, and nutrients be transported to the vital parts of the body, while the heart provides the necessary energy.
