The heart, the lungs, and the veins and arteries (blood vessels) make up the circulatory system. Working together, they ensure that blood flows through the whole network that makes up the human body (systemic circulation), as well as within the lungs (pulmonary circulation) and the heart (coronary circulation).eins and arteries are known as blood vessels. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood toward the heart. The major blood vessels that branch out of the heart are the aorta, the vena cava, and the pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins.
The heart and lungs are very closely connected. Not only do they fit closely together in the chest, but they also work together to make sure that every part of your body gets the oxygen it needs. In our discussion of how the heart works, we said that blood is pumped from the right side of your heart to your lungs. Just like the air you inhale moves through passageways, the blood that flows through your lungs moves through a set of branching pipes called pulmonary vessels.
