Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your blood enters your venules before joining up with your veins. Your veins then carry your blood back to your heart where it can refuel. This oxygen-poor blood enters your heart through two large veins called your superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
