Dolaşım sistemi (systema circulatorium) sayesinde sindirim sistemi ile alınan besin maddeleri ve solunum sistemi ile alınan O2 hücrelere gider, hücrelerin aktiviteleri sonucu oluşan atık maddeler vücuttan uzaklaştırılmak üzere böbrek veya deriye, CO2 ise akciğere gider.

Fetüste akciğerlerin fonksiyonel olmaması nedeniyle fetal dönemdeki dolaşım doğumdan sonraki dolaşımdan (postnatal dolaşım) farklıdır. Bu farklılığın nedeni, fetüsün anne karnında amnion sıvısı içerisinde bulunması ve solunum yapamamasıdır.

Sinir sistemi ve endokrin sistem, diğer tüm sistemlerin işlevlerini yönlendirir ve koordine eder. Endokrin sistem yavaş ve kalıcı yanıt oluştururken sinir sistemi daha hızlı ve daha kısa etkili yanıt oluşturur. Sinir sistemi vücudun ana düzenleyici sistemi olup diğer tüm sistemler ile etkileşime girer.

Dolaşım sistemi (systema circulatorium), kalp ve kan damarlarının oluşturduğu kardiyovasküler sistem (systema cardiovasculare) ile lenfatik sistemden (systema lymphoideum) oluşur. Lenfatik sistem lenf damarları, lenf nodülleri, tonsilla, dalak, thymus ve Peyer plaklarından oluşur.
