overall system that's working with the heart. Cardio - heart, vascular- blood vessels.

The other web sites are useful tools, but as a medical professional I get all of my information from the American Heart Association because their information is always up to date and they are constantly doing research which the other sites get all their information from.  \n\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=2114\n\nI would look at all of these websites listed under your answers, because they will allow you to retain a wealth of knowledge about the topic.

http://www.bioeng.auckland.ac.nz/physiome/images/images_map.php might be your best bet.\n\nAlso, \nhttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/images/vsd_heart.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/vsd/vsd_what.html&h=349&w=450&sz=64&tbnid=fxd3FVDlV94MOM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=124&hl=en&start=3&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dheart%2Bin%2Bcross%2Bsection%2Bdetail%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG\nhttp://www.heartdiseasefocus.com/valvular-heart-disease/heart-valves.php\nand \nhttp://www.heartsite.com/html/the_heart.html\nmight be useful. \n\nYou can also do a Google image search (I did Heart "cross section") for more diagrams.

The first answer was good, although mostly copy$paste \nhttp://www.nda.ox.ac.uk/wfsa/html/u05/u05_010.htm\n\nThe circulatory system is regulated both by the autonomic nervous system (with two antagonistic systems that may increase peripheral circulation or visceral circulation, slow/accelerate heart rate, etc) and by the endocrine system. Hormones have slower, but more long-term effects than nervous "orders" but both are necessary.

Blood plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and numerous nutrients that are being delivered to various parts of your body.  \n\nStructurally speaking, the circulatory system is a complex set of arteries drawing blood away from your lungs and to every part of your body (including the brain and heart muscle), veins drawing blood toward your lungs, the heart that pumps to keep blood moving, and capillaries that drop of oxygen to cell tissue in exchange for carbon dioxide.

the circulatory system (ie the blood circulatory system) can maintain the temperature of the body by vaso-dilation and vaso constriction of the blood vessels ( both deepseated and superficial) when there is cold or the weather is hot respectively.

Not sure about textbooks, but the below sites have tons of medical information.  (I hope you will look them over - they are really good sites!)  Hope you can find what you are looking for here.

It circulates through your arteries and veins and capillaries and goes through your heart. The system is called the circulatory system.

Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They are contrasted with veins, which carry blood toward the heart.\n\nThe circulatory system is extremely important in sustaining life. Its proper functioning is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, maintenance of optimum pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins and cells of the immune system. In developed countries, the two leading causes of death, myocardial infarction and stroke each may directly result from an arterial system that has been slowly and progressively compromised by years of deterioration.

The Circulation of Blood\n\nThe human circulatory system is really a two-part system whose purpose is to bring oxygen-bearing blood to all the tissues of the body. When the heart contracts it pushes the blood out into two major loops or cycles. In the systemic loop, the blood circulates into the body’s systems, bringing oxygen to all its organs, structures and tissues and collecting carbon dioxide waste. In the pulmonary loop, the blood circulates to and from the lungs, to release the carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. The systemic cycle is controlled by the left side of the heart, the pulmonary cycle by the right side of the heart. Let’s look at what happens during each cycle:\n\nThe systemic loop begins when the oxygen-rich blood coming from the lungs enters the upper left chamber of the heart, the left atrium. As the chamber fills, it presses open the mitral valve and the blood flows down into the left ventricle. When the ventricles contract during a heartbeat, the blood on the left side is forced into the aorta. This largest artery of the body is an inch wide. The blood leaving the aorta brings oxygen to all the body’s cells through the network of ever smaller arteries and capillaries. The used blood from the body returns to the heart through the network of veins. All of the blood from the body is eventually collected into the two largest veins: the superior vena cava, which receives blood from the upper body, and the inferior vena cava, which receives blood from the lower body region. Both venae cavae empty the blood into the right atrium of the heart.\n\nFrom here the blood begins its journey through the pulmonary cycle. From the right atrium the blood descends into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed into the pulmonary artery that branches into two main parts: one going to the left lung, one to the right lung. The fresh, oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.\n\nAlthough the circulatory system is made up of two cycles, both happen at the same time. The contraction of the heart muscle starts in the two atria, which push the blood into the ventricles. Then the walls of the ventricles squeeze together and force the blood out into the arteries: the aorta to the body and the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Afterwards, the heart muscle relaxes, allowing blood to flow in from the veins and fill the atria again. In healthy people the normal (resting) heart rate is about 72 beats per minute, but it can go much higher during strenuous exercise. Scientists have estimated that it takes about 30 seconds for a given portion of the blood to complete the entire cycle: from lungs to heart to body, back to the heart and out to the lungs.\n\n^_^
