Morphology
neurocirculatory = circulatory (transparent) = neuro + circul + atory
Adding neuro- to circulatory gives a straightforward technical meaning: relating to both nerves and blood circulation.
Etymology
The word neurocirculatory joins neuro- meaning 'nerve' and circulatory which comes from circle, meaning 'to move in a circle'. So, neurocirculatory refers to things that involve both the nerves and the blood flow that moves around the body.
