Explanation:

The circulatory system pumps blood aroound the body, as you probably already know. But where does the blood come from? The answer is the bone marrow.

Bone marrow is the the soft tissue inside of your bones, and its main job is to create blood cells. There are two type of bone marrow, red and yellow, but it is onlt the red type which creates blood cells. Red marrow produces stem cells, which will then turn into red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets. Because they don't last long, the average adult's bone marrow will produce 222-242 billion blood cells a day.

These cells then enter the circulatory system via small and large blood vessels and veins in the bone. Since bone marrow is found in bones, and bones are part of the skelatal system, the skelatal system is the system that interacts with the circulatory system to create blood.
