What system does the respiratory system work with and how?

Answer 1

The respiratory system works with the circulatory system, by supplying oxygen in the lungs to the blood to be carried throughout the tissues in the body and taking carbon dioxide from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled.

Answer 2

the circulatory system works with the respiratory system ------------

The closest integrated system with the respiratory system is the cardiac system as stated above. Each system has it's own particular function, yet they both share the common component we call blood. Our red blood cells are the carrier of the gases oxygen and carbon dioxide in our bodies and allows use to create energy and do work.

Blood serves as a transportation system for many things in our bodies, but when we look at the combined cardio-pulmonary system, they are working together to provide our bodies with the necessary functions of gas exchange ( oxygen intake and carbon dioxide exhalation). The blood delivers the oxygenated blood from our lungs to the organs and muscles (cells) of our bodies and allows us to create energy and perform work. Once the cells have used up the oxygen, they load the red blood cell with the CO2 and it travels back into the lungs where it is released. We then exhale the CO2 with every breath and reload more oxygen into the lungs to be taken back through the body for making more energy.

Obviously the cardiac system will provide the pump to move the blood through the body and the lungs provide the area where the oxygen and CO2 are transferred back and forth during inhalation and exhalation. This gas exchange also occurs at the cellular level when the blood delivers the oxygen and carries away the CO2. Both systems are needed to keep this process going. Neither one can do it by itself.

Answer 3

The respiratory system works directly with the cardiovascular system. It allows the blood which is pumped around the body by the heart, through the arteries and veins, to be oxygenated in the lungs, through the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs that are filled with oxygen on inhalation and carbon dioxide upon exhaling).

All the best.
