What happens to air as it passes the respiratory system?
In the lower respiratory system, air that has been filtered of pathogens and warmed in the upper respiratory tract is transported to the lungs. There, oxygen will be pulled from the inhaled air and deposited into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide pulled from the bloodstream is released back into the lungs to be expelled from the body upon exhaling. This exchange of gases is the primary function of the respiratory system.

How are the respiratory and the digestive systems similar?
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, veins and arteries. Which are all part of the network which moves blood around your body. Your respiratory system is your lungs and airways. This system is responsible for gas exchange (taking in oxygen and expelling CO2). They work hand in hand, your respiratory system takes in oxygen and passes it into your cardiovascular system, which transports it to all of your muscles and organs. The muscles and organs pass back CO2 which is then expelled through your respiratory system.
