Meaning, you can drink all the OJ you want, just because there is more Vitamin C in your system doesn't mean that your body will transport it to your skin or that your skin will even work to take up more of the available Vitamin C from the blood.s I understand it, most of the Vitamin C in our bodies is in the Ascorbic Acid form (top right). If it accepts an electron (as part of being an anti-oxidant) it becomes the Ascorbate Ion.
Cardiovascular System. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries). It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and carries waste products to the organs responsible for elimination.
Functions of the Cardiovascular System. The cardiovascular system has three major functions: transportation of materials, protection from pathogens, and regulation of the bodyâs homeostasis. Transportation: The cardiovascular system transports blood to almost all of the bodyâs tissues. The blood delivers essential nutrients and oxygen and removes wastes and carbon dioxide to be processed or removed from the body. Hormones are transported throughout the body via the bloodâs liquid plasma.
