Description Artificial Blood - the Vasculoid Circulatory Replacement System
The vasculoid system consists of a lining of artificial cells which use cilia to transport particles such as respirocytes to various parts of the body, with no need for a heart or other pump.

These tiny devices would need to be quite sophiticated; that hole you can see is a valve that can regulate the in- and out-flow of oxygen or carbon dioxide at pressures up to 100 megapascals. If one of those valves failed it would emit a stream of high pressure gas and result in localised trauma. You don't to have fauly respirocytes floating around in your body.
