Cardiovascular System
The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). It transports nutrients and waste products to and from cells, and also helps stabilize body temperature and pH.
Problems tackled in this area might relate to blood flow, vessel wall mechanics, heart valve behaviour, and pumping mechanisms.
