circulation system

Body's transport routes

A circulation system is the network of vessels and organs that moves blood or other fluids through a body or machine.

In biology, the circulatory system comprises the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

The term extends to any arrangement that keeps something flowing: The building's circulation system distributes heated air through the ducts.
