How does the Circulatory System and the Skin interact?
The Circulatory System and the Skin interact because skin has blood vessels and capillaries that keep it living and provides it with a good source of new cells. If we didn't have blood vessels or capillaries in our skin it would die. Skin has a role in protecting the circulatory system. It contains a fatty layer that provides padding for protection. Skin can be known as the first line of defense against infections.
