Answer 1

Transport O₂ and nutrients throughout the body

Remove waste products found within the body

Step-by-step explanation:

The circulatory system performs the function of transporting oxygen and nutrients to the cells. It also helps in removing the wastes from these cells. The circulatory system involves blood, blood vessels, arteries, veins, and capillaries. From the lungs, the oxygen is carried to all parts of the cells. The waste product, carbon dioxide, is carried to the lungs. The nutrients are carried from the small intestine and delivered to all the cells of the body.
