How is the respiratory system linked to the excretory system?

When you inhale, you take in oxygen. Your body then uses this oxygen in aerobic respiration and in this process, carbon dioxide (the waste product) is produced. Thus this carbon dioxide is released by your body when you exhale, and we say that it is excreted as a waste/excretory product. This is similar to the excretory system whereby the waste products are removed from the body through sweat, urine etc.


What is the waste product of cellar respiration and how is it removed from the body?

The waste product of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is produced during the conversion of glucose into energy (ATP) in cells. The CO2 is transported from the cells to the lungs via the bloodstream, where it is then exhaled out of the body. This process helps maintain the body’s pH balance and prevents the buildup of excess carbon dioxide.
