| Definition (UWDA) | General anatomical term which describes an elongated, organ part, the trilaminar wall of which consists of tunica intima, media and adventitia; its lumen (organ cavity) is continuous with the cavity of the heart, directly or indirectly through the branches of arteries and the tributaries of veins; it conveys blood between the heart and other organs and body parts; together with other blood vessels and the heart, it constitutes the cardiovascular system. Examples: aorta, pulmonary trunk, coronary artery, superior vena cava, renal artery, renal vein. |

| Definition (FMA) | Organ system which consists of the heart, the systemic and pulmonary arterial and venous system, the lymphatic and the portal venous system. |
| Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) | The system that contains the heart and the blood vessels and moves blood throughout the body. This system helps tissues get enough oxygen and nutrients, and it helps them get rid of waste products. The lymph system, which connects with the blood system, is often considered part of the circulatory system. |
