Why is carbon dioxide important to the respiratory system?
During the respiratory system, oxygen travels through the respiratory tract and diffuses to the red blood cells from alveoli which receives carbon dioxide from the RBC's. The carbon dioxide comes from cells in the body. When the RBC's travel through the body to transfer oxygen to the cells it receives carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide enters the alveoli and travels through the respiratory tract and is breathed out.

How is respiratory system and digestive system related to the circulatory system?
The respiratory system provides oxygen so the body can "burn" (oxidize) the food that is brought into the body through the digestive system. The circulatory system brings nourishment to all cells of the body. The circulatory system exchanges critical gases with the respiratory system; unneeded carbon dioxide is exchanged for much needed oxygen.

the size is less than 2.5 microns.....they can enter our respiratory system easily nd can prove harmful to our lungs....Answer: Particulate matter is generally sized as PM10 and PM2.5 the number indicating its size in microns.PM10 is inhaleable but is generally trapped in the upper lung/nose and can be expelled. PM2.5 is much finer and can travel deeply into the respiratory tract and is not expelled
