What brings oxygen to the blood?
When you inhale, your breath is drawn into your lungs, and is exchanged for Carbon Dioxide. The oxygen is 'traded' for Carbon Dioxide from your blood vessels, which leaves the body when you exhale. In other words, inhaling brings Oxygen to your blood.
Where in the lungs does gas exchange take place?
In the alveoli (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide go back and forth between the circulatory and respiratory systems?

What organ or structure absorbes oxygen from the air?
The respiratory system seems like the obvious answer, but you used the word absorb. The respiratory system takes air into the lungs, but the red blood cells (erythrocytes) absorb the oxygen out of the air taken into the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers these red blood cells to the capillaries where the oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide as the cells need.
Which are the functions of the respiratory system?
Inhaling allows oxygen from the air to diffuse into the blood for use in respiration, and exhaling removes carbon dioxide (one of the products of respiration) from the body.

What is carbon credit in financial management?
A permit that allows the holder to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. Credits are awarded to countries or groups that have reduced their green house gases below their emission quota. Carbon credits can be traded in the international market at their current market price.
What are people called who traded and bartered with the settlers?
Indians traded and bartered with settlers.

When muscles are active cells use nutrients and oxygen at a higher rate and produce waste chemicals and heat more rapidly Describe how the interaction of two or more body systems help to maintain?
During periods of high muscle activity muscles need more oxygen requiring the respiratory system to work harder (a person breaths harder) to take in more oxygen. This oxygen is taken to the muscle via the circulatory system. During periods of high muscle activity heart rate increases which causes the circulatory system to deliver the oxygen and nutrients to the muscles at a faster rate. Since the muscles are working hard they also produce waste chemicals and heat more rapidly. The circulatory system deals with this problem by releasing the heat through veins near the skin. The increased rate of the circulatory system also allows waste chemicals such as carbon dioxide to leave the body at a faster rate because it is delivered back to the lungs at a increased rate. Once at the lungs the carbon dioxide is traded for oxygen.
Is diffusion the same as gas exchange?
No. Gas exchange is when carbon dioxide rich blood is traded for oxygen rich blood. The lungs do this exchange. Diffusion is when a liquid, usually water, is spread out equally from high concentration areas to low concentration areas. Osmosis is when diffusion happens through a differentially permeable membrane, which only lets in certain molecules and repels others (like a potato sack letting out sand but not marbles).
