Hello, doctor. I'd like to ask, how does the systemic arterial circulation work?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Heyang
First, blood leaves the heart and enters the aorta, then is distributed throughout the body via arterial branches. Thus, blood flows to the head, arms, chest, abdomen, waist, and legs. Second, blood is delivered through arterioles to supply energy to each tissue layer. Next, blood enters the capillaries, where oxygen and nutrients are delivered into each cell, providing them with the necessary energy. Finally, blood passes through lymphatic vessels, removing excess fluid and waste from the body to maintain healthy circulation.
