The circulatory system is responsible in part for gas exchange. As Hemoglobin moves through the body with arteries as vessels and the heart pumping, they carry a maximum four oxygen molecules, although blood pH levels can effect this, and the oxygen diffuses into cells. As Oxygen diffuses, Hemoglobin will pick up Carbon Dioxide and travel through the veins to the lungs, where small sacks called alveoli transfer the Carbon Dioxide for Oxygen, and the cells will then recycle through the body. When exercising, lack of Oxygen and increase of Carbon Dioxide, the Medulla on the Brain Stem will cause breathing rate to increase, as Hemoglobin simultaneously picks up Carbon Dioxide and releases Oxygen in order to maintain a stable blood pH at around 7.4
