Do oxygen and carbon dioxide go back and forth between the circulatory and respiratory systems?

In the alveoli Alveolus (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.
The correct term is alveoli. but they are referred to as sacs, and that is where the exchange of gases take place

Which two organ system are involved in removing carbon dioxide from the body?
1. Respiratory system 2. Cardiovascular system
What does the respiratory system do for other systems?
The respiratory system helps the circulatory system. circulatory system
What systems work with the circulatory system to add oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the body?
respiratory :)
Which of the following body systems work with the circulatory system takes in oxygen carbon dioxide?
The respiratory system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It works closely with the circulatory system.
What are the circulatory and respiratory systems called?
the circulatory system and the respiratory system are the names
What is the common purpose of respiratory and circulatory system?
The common purpose of the respiratory and circulatory systems are bringing oxygen into the body for cellular processes, and bringing carbon dioxide waste out of the body. The circulatory system has many other functions as well.
How does the respiratory and circulatory system work together in a frog?
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together as a unit to exchange gases between body cells and the environment
How is the respiratory system connected to two other body systems?
The respiratory system is connected to the circulatory system at the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across the thin membrane between the two systems. The physical connection between the respiratory system and the digestive system occurs at the oropharynx, which carries both air and food.
What systems share the responsibility of supplying cells of the body with oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide?
The blood (circulatory system) carries oxygen to your lungs (respiratory system). Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin molecule in your blood and is carried back to the heart, then pumped out to the other parts of the body.
How do the diseases in respiratory and circulatory systems begin to develop?
Diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems begin to develop due to disorders of the heart and lungs.
CPR artificially takes over the functions of which two body systems?
CPR focus is respiratory and circulatory systems.
What system does the circulatory system work with to obtain oxygen for the body?
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to get oxygen to cells. Oxygen transfers from the respiratory to the circulatory system at the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
