Homeostasis is not a function carried out solely by the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. It Homeostasis is actually carried out in all cells and all systems.
Breathing, heart beating, and digesting food are a few functions carried out simultaneously in the body. These vital processes are controlled by different systems in the body, such as the respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems, working in coordination to maintain homeostasis.
The circulatory system and the respiratory system depend on each other because the respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood, which is then carried by the circulatory system to all parts of the body. In return, the circulatory system delivers carbon dioxide from the body's cells to the respiratory system to be exhaled. This exchange of gases is essential for the body to function properly and maintain homeostasis.
The respiratory system is involved in removing carbon dioxide from the body. Carbon dioxide is carried to the alveoli by the circulatory system. There, it diffuses across the membrane into the alveoli and is exhaled.

Yes, the respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through inhalation, and this oxygen is carried by the blood to the brain where it is used for various brain functions. This process is essential for the brain to function properly.
The overall function of the respiratory system is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment. This process involves breathing in oxygen-rich air, transferring oxygen to the bloodstream, and removing carbon dioxide from the body. The respiratory system also helps regulate the body's pH balance and plays a role in vocalization.
Substances not carried by the cardiovascular system include nutrients absorbed by the digestive system, waste products excreted by the kidneys, and hormones released by endocrine glands. These substances are transported through other systems in the body to reach their intended destinations.
The blood in the cardiovascular system carries gases, hormones, nutrients, and wastes. Oxygen, nutrients, and certain hormones are carried to the cells; and carbon dioxide, wastes, and certain hormones are carried away from the cells. Hormones are not nutrients or wastes. They are chemical messengers that are secreted by certain cells and carried to other parts of the body where they will have an effect, which depends on the hormone.

The cells
The circulatory system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, is responsible for distributing oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Oxygen and nutrients are carried in the blood and delivered to cells throughout the body.
