How does your respiratory system interact with your muscular system to support breathing and physical activity?

The respiratory system and muscular system work together to support breathing and physical activity. When you breathe in, your diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to expand your chest cavity, allowing air to enter your lungs. The oxygen from the air is then absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your muscles, providing them with the energy they need to move. During physical activity, your muscles require more oxygen, so your respiratory rate increases to supply them with enough oxygen to keep working efficiently. This coordinated effort between the respiratory and muscular systems ensures that your body can perform physical activities effectively.
