How does the Circulatory System and the Muscular System Interact?
The Circulatory System interacts with the Muscular System because the heart, which is a cardiac muscle, pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries to tiny, one cell thick capillaries that delivers the oxygen to every single muscle cell in the body.The blood also carry glucose to muscles. Once the blood reaches the muscle, it is used for doing work, such as contracting a muscle. The waste product, carbon dioxide, is disposed by sending the wastes back through the capillaries through a system of veins, until it reaches the heart. From the heart it is sent to the lungs to be re-enriched in oxygen.
