The skin has only 2 layers—epidermis and dermis. Hypodermis, if that’s what you have in mind as the third, isn’t considered part of the skin.
The epidermis is a barrier to infection, trauma, and water loss (dehydration); it’s important to our social interactions; and it’s the body’s largest sense organ. The dermis provides toughness and resistance to mechanical stress; provides blood vessels that come close to the epidermis and nourish it (but don’t enter it); contains a variety of sensory receptors for touch, heat, cold, pressure, and vibration; and is an arena of immune defense in which white blood cells can rally at a site of infection and fight off intruders.

Highly vascularized due to blood needing oxygen and needing to release carbon dioxide. They take place between alveoli and capillaries.
Answer:
The circulatory system interacts with every organ and system in the body hence, it is vital for every organ and system to function properly.
The circulatory system carries oxygen to the lungs and takes the waste materials out of it. Hence, a malfunction in the circulatory system can cause the respiratory system to not work properly. Severe damages will be caused to the body if oxygen is not taken to and from the lungs.
The circulatory system is also involved in carrying waste materials to the kidneys. It helps carry the waste materials out of our bodies. Malfunctioning of the circulatory system can cause no excretion of wastes from the body which will eventually lead to the death of the organism.
