Breathing is controlled involuntarily by the functions of the brain stem in the autonomic nervous system. So, the brain sends a signal to the lungs to keep breathing. The contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm muscles causes the lungs to expand and contract, resulting in respiration.
When the lungs expand and contract, oxygen flows into the alveoli in the lungs to bring oxygen into the capillaries, so that it can be absorbed to bind with hemoglobin in the blood, and sent throughout the body.
The oxygenated blood travels to the brain via the common carotid arteries, and provides oxygen for oxidative phosphorylation (chemical energy generation) needed by the very active neurons in the brain. During this process of generating NADPH and ATP, carbon dioxide is produced by the Kreb's Cycle, and rebinds with hemoglobin.
Carbon dioxide-rich blood is pumped back to the heart, where it travels back to the lungs, and it exchanged out of the alveoli, through the lungs, and exhaled. l

What are some examples of organ sytems?
The nervous system and the respiratory system are examples of organ systems
What are the main systems the human body uses to survive?
The main systems in the human body that are essential for survival include the respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, digestive system, and immune system. These systems work together to maintain homeostasis and support the body's functions to ensure survival.
How do the musculoskeletal and nervous systems work with your respiratory system to help you breathe and blink?
The musculoskeletal and nervous systems play crucial roles in facilitating breathing and blinking. The respiratory system relies on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, to expand and contract the thoracic cavity, enabling airflow into and out of the lungs. Meanwhile, the nervous system controls these muscle movements through signals from the brain, coordinating the timing and strength of contractions. For blinking, the nervous system triggers the eyelid muscles to close and open in response to stimuli, protecting the eyes and maintaining moisture.
2 body systems that work together?
The respiratory system and the circulatory system.
The part of the nervous system which works closely with the respiratory system for inhalation is the?
The part of the nervous system that works closely with the respiratory system for inhalation is the phrenic nerve. It controls the diaphragm, the primary muscle involved in breathing. Stimulation of the phrenic nerve causes the diaphragm to contract, enabling the process of inhalation.
How do the respiratory system work together?
The central nervous system coordinates.
How do respiratory system work together?
The central nervous system coordinates.
How does nervous system and respiratory system work together?
they both help your brain
How do the nervous and respiratory system relate to each other?
Nervous system controls respiratory system .
How does the respiratory system and the nervous system work together?
Respiratory system is controlled by Nervous system.That isthe major relation between them. Respiration is involuntary IE we cannot control it by our will.The Autonomous nervous system controls it. Medulla oblongata which is a part of the brain and nervous system controls such actions
Which body system controls the rate at which the circulatory and respiratory work?
The nervous system controls the rate of the heartbeat and respiration.
What other orggans does the endocrine system work with?
Circulatory. Respiratory. Immune. Nervous. Reproductive. urinary.
What are two facts about the respiratory system?
Two facts about the respiratory system include:it must work with both the nervous system and muscular systemillness, conditions, or injury to the muscles of respiration or the brain can interfere with the respiratory system's normal functioning
Is the brain a nervous system or breathing system?
The brain is part of the nervous system and not the breathing (respiratory)system.
How does the respiratory system depend on the nervous system?
If you don't breathe the nervous system won't work
What signals do the respiratory system depend on from the nervous system?
Nervous system sends controlling signals to respiratory system via nerves of autonomic system, these signals arise from breathing center of medulla .
What organ systems must work together to help a person play a Soccer game?
muscular system,nervous system, skeletal and respiratory system
