Calculus based will be out of reach for many readers, but has fantastic concepts for understanding the flow of blood.
Li, John K. Dynamics of the vascular system . River Edge, NJ: World Scientific, 2004.
Great information on the vascular system, of use for middle grade teachers but more beneficial for higher grades in its mathematical formulations.

Up to date and fresh. A look at how the venous system works and how to model it in chapters 12 - 14.
Rushmer, Robert F.. Organ physiology: structure and function of the cardiovascular system. 2d ed. Philadelphia: Saunders, 1976.
Dated in some respects as microbiology has made huge advances, but for the macrosystem of the vascular very helpful.
