How do the respiratory and skeletal systems work together?

Answer 1

only the ribs work with the respiratory system. When there is low pressure in an area air will rush to fill in the space, in high pressure however air will rush away from it. when the ribs move up and out the pressure decreases and the volume increases air will rush in your lungs (inhaling) but when the ribs move down and in it squeezes the lungs increasing the pressure and lowering the volume so air will rush out (exhaling)

Answer 2

the bones protect the lungs that breathe The skeletal system provide protection for the lungs with the ribs, and the ribs and spine provide leverage for the diaphragm to help you breathe.
