Explanation:

The circulatory system is a system of organs very important to the body. It is composed of the heart, the lungs, and the blood vessels (arteries and veins).

The circulatory system has the function to transport blood and oxygen to the entirety of the body. If our organs do not receive blood and oxygen, they cannot function and will eventually die.

Skin is the largest organ in the human body and has many functions, one of them is regulating body temperature by 1) shivering to contract the blood vessels when it's cold, and 2) sweating to increase the blood flow when it's hot.
