Important for efficient circulation of fluids to cells: replace water lost each day; avoid dehydration. Blood and lymph: two main body fluids, deliver oxygen and nutrients to all body cells, carry carbon dioxide and other waste materials away from body cells. Lymphatic vessels: pick up most fats from the intestine and transports them to the blood. Cv system: primarily the heart, lungs, arteries, veins, capillaries, ensures that fluids circulate properly among the organs, extracellular fluid surrounds cells, permits exchange of materials. Intracellular fluid provides medium for all cell reactions. Coordinate and help regulate body processes through communication among all organs. Respond to need for food, govern the act of eating, regulate digestion, and call for stress response.
