Blood pressure, blood type, and fetal circulation are covered. The history of research on the circulatory system is presented, and the future of research in this field is considered. Current controversies and dilemmas, such as stem cell research, are explored. Circulatory system diseases and disorders, symptoms, and treatments are explored, including anemia, leukemia, and heart murmurs.
