The respiratory and circulatory systems interact within the alveoli in a simultaneous manner. When you breathe in the oxygen in diffused in the alveoli which is then carried by the blood to the heart and pumped to the rest of the body.
The respiratory system and the circulatory (cardiovascular) system.

In the alveoli
Working together, the respiratory and circulatory systems perform gas exchange from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs at the alveoli.
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.

The respiratory and circulatory systems are involved in the exchange of gases between the alveoli and blood. The alveoli are part of the lungs, and their surrounding capillaries are part of the circulatory system.
When alveoli perform their function of gas exchange, the respiratory system and the circulatory system interact. The alveoli facilitate the transfer of oxygen from the inhaled air into the bloodstream while simultaneously allowing carbon dioxide to be expelled from the blood into the air to be exhaled. This exchange is crucial for maintaining oxygen levels in the body and removing waste gases. Thus, the efficiency of this interaction is vital for overall respiratory and cardiovascular health.
The respiratory and circulatory system connect in the lungs. At the alveoli, the air sacs are wrapped closely by capillaries to facilitate gas exchange.
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to get oxygen to cells. Oxygen transfers from the respiratory to the circulatory system at the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
