Why is it beneficial to have the heart and lungs in a close promximity?
The lungs are the organs that bring oxygen into your body, and your heart is the organ that pumps this oxygen around the body via the blood.

In addition, they are two of the most important organs and are in the torso of your body along with most of the other important organs such as the liver, stomach, etc. This means in a life threatening situation you can protect your vital organs easier because they are in the same area.

How are circulatory and respiratory systems different?
The circulatory system is where the heart exchanges de-oxygenated blood for oxygenated blood from the lungs to go through the veins and arteries. As for the respiratory system, this is involving the lungs in exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen, through the process called breathing. The heart and lungs depend on each other. If the lungs does not give blood its needed oxygen, then all the organs would fail, causing a horrible death, and if the heart does not keep the lungs alive, with fresh blood (that the lung gave oxygen to) then the lungs would fail, causing the heart to go into a heart attack.
