cardiovascular system
Anatomical system that has as its parts the heart and blood vessels. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the cardiovascular system is
Anatomical system that has as its parts the heart and blood vessels. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the human body.
Where the cardiovascular system is
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the cardiovascular system connects to
The atlas records 42 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure and anatomical system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cardiovascular system. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Questions
Where is the cardiovascular system?
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the cardiovascular system connect to?
A kind of: anatomical structure and anatomical system.
Is the cardiovascular system the same in other species?
