Digestive system: Provides necessary molecules for blood protein formation and blood cell formation. The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. These nutrients are used to produce blood proteins and new blood cells.

Respiratory system: Helps regulate acid/base balance and aids venous return. The respiratory system exchanges gases with the cardiovascular system, taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. This helps to maintain the pH balance of the blood. The return of blood to the heart (venous return) is also facilitated by the pressure changes in the chest that occur during breathing.

Lymphatic system: Helps maintain blood volume by collecting excess fluid. The lymphatic system collects excess fluid that leaks out of the cardiovascular system and returns it to the bloodstream, helping to maintain blood volume.

Endocrine system: Can increase blood pressure, regulate blood volume and aid with blood cell formation. The endocrine system releases hormones that can constrict blood vessels (increasing blood pressure), stimulate the production of red blood cells, and signal the kidneys to retain or excrete water (regulating blood volume).

Urinary system: Helps regulate blood-salt balance and blood volume. The kidneys filter the blood and excrete excess salts and water as urine, helping to maintain the balance of salts in the blood and regulate blood volume.
