cardiovascular diseases

 


The heart uses its pumping action to distribute blood to all organs and tissues of the body. The blood delivers all the necessary substances to the organs, including nutrients, biologically active substances (hormones, enzymes, microelements, antibodies, etc.). Also, it helps the peripheral tissues to get rid of waste products, which come from protein, fat and carbohydrate catabolism, and carbon dioxide. These products are partially inactivated in the liver and then are excreted thorugh the lungs, kidneys, sweat glands, etc.
