Human circulatory system
A circulatory system consists of a group of organs that assist the movement of substances, such as oxygen and glucose, around the body.
Humans and other complex organisms have a closed circulatory system where blood is contained within a series of vessels. This allows the speed, pressure and distribution of blood to be controlled.

Double circulatory system advantages
The double circulatory system produces higher pressures in blood vessels than a single circulatory system can.
This creates a greater rate of blood flow to the tissues.
The greater rate of flow allows blood to be pumped quickly even through the bodies of large mammals, like elephants and whales.
