major organs and locations
- the heart- located slightly to the left of the middle of your chest
- the blood vessels- blood vessels are everywhere, but they eventually come back to the heart
- blood- blood is located all throughout your body,

-the digestive system is also connected, nutrients is put into the blood stream from it
- also the respiratory system is also connected to the circulatory in the lungs
malfunctioned?
if any disease or malfunction were to occur the likely effects of this would be death because the heart wouldn't get blood, or the blood wouldn't pump. you could also get pains in areas in which the organs associated, with the circulatory system are at.
-one disease called myocardial infraction basically is a blockage in the blood flow
-angina pectoris- is a disease that causes pain in the chest where the heart is located
