    continuous movement of blood through the cardiovascular system

    Blood flow, also known as circulation or blood circulation, refers to the continuous movement of blood through the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. This process is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues, removing waste products, and maintaining overall homeostasis in the body. Proper blood flow is crucial for the health of all organs and tissues, including the scalp and hair follicles, as it ensures they receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen to function effectively.
