How are the pulmonary and circulatory system dependent on each other?

The pulmonary system is connected to the pulmonary system in two ways. First the circulatory system does the same for the pulmonary system as it does for every other part of the body -- it supplies food and oxygen and removes waste products and CO2. But, in addition the heart pumps blood through the lungs to remove CO2 and pick up oxygen.

Give an example of how the pulmonary and circulatory systems are dependent on each other?
Pulmonary = lungs Circulatory = blood Without oxygen in the blood, there's not much point in having a circulatory system to pump it around, now, is there? And how can a circulatory system function if it has no energy because it has no oxygen? than you!
The circulatory system is most dependent on which other organ?
The circulatory system is dependent on the lungs. The lungs bring oxygen into the body, and the circulatory system transports that oxygen to body tissues.
What are the circulatory circuits?
The human body has a dual circulatory system: one circuit takes blood to and from the lungs (pulmonary circuit), the other supplies blood to the rest of the body.
What organs does the systemic circulatory system NOT supply blood?
The systemic circulatory system doesn't deliver blood to the lungs because they are already well oxygenated and receive their other nutrients via the pulmonary circuit.
How the circulatory system is linked t the respiratory system?
Basically, they are linked to each other. The circulatory system gets oxygen from the lungs, while the respiratory system gets blood from the circulatory system necessary to feed its cells. The pulmonary circulatory system is part of the cardiovascular system in which oxygen-depleted blood is pumped away from the heart, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs and returned, oxygenated, to the heart through the pulmonary vein. Oxygen deprived blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) into the right ventricle, from which it is then pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, whereby CO2 is released from the blood, and oxygen is absorbed. The pulmonary vein returns the now oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
How does the circulatory system affect other body systems?
The circulatory system affects the other body systems because the circulatory system gives oxygen to the other system. Without the circulatory system the other systems would not work.
What are the two main circulatory routes in the body?
You have lesser circulation or the pulmonary circulation. Blood goes to lungs in this system from the right side of heart. You have greater circulation or the systemic circulation. Blood goes to all over the rest of body through this circulation. The amount of blood that flows is same in both the systems. You have about 25/15 mm of Hg pressure in pulmonary circulation. You have about 120/80 mm of Hg pressure in systemic circulation.
Mammals circulatory system?
The circulatory system of mammals helps in the transfer of nutrients, oxygen, and other materials to the cells and removes the metabolic wastes. The circulatory system consist of three parts namely the blood, blood vessels, and the heart which is the pumping organ.
What are the parts of the circulatory system where oxygen-poor blood is found?
In the circulatory system, deoxygenated blood is found on the right side of the heart, in the pulmonary artery, and in the systemic veins. The pulmonary artery brings low-oxygen blood to the lungs. The systemic vein carry deoxygenated blood from the body tissues to the right atrium.
What body system is involved with removing this waste carbon dioxide?
Respiration ! The process by which CO2 is exhaled from the lungs and is replaced by O2
Does the circulatory system deliver oxygen to cells?
to what tissue? The pulmonary artery carries oxygen depleted blood to the lungs, where the red blood cells exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen enriched blood from the lungs back to the heart. All other tissue requires other arteries to carry oxygen rich blood to them.
What other system does the cardiovascular system work with?
Pulmonary
