Basically, they are linked to each other. The circulatory system gets oxygen from the lungs, while the respiratory system gets blood from the circulatory system necessary to feed its cells.

The pulmonary circulatory system is part of the cardiovascular system in which oxygen-depleted blood is pumped away from the heart, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs and returned, oxygenated, to the heart through the pulmonary vein.

Oxygen deprived blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) into the right ventricle, from which it is then pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, whereby CO2 is released from the blood, and oxygen is absorbed. The pulmonary vein returns the now oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
