What is the purpose of the circulatory system?

Blood donation is a common practice today around the world. Which blood type is the universal donor and which is the universal receiver? Briefly explain WHY these blood types can act at universal donors and receivers.

Imagine a genetic condition that caused the veins and arteries to switch the direction by which blood flows through them. Would you see any symptoms in a person with this disorder? Why or why not? How would blood now move through the heart from the lungs? How would blood move through the heart from the body?
