Explanation:

The respiratory system (e.g., lungs) takes in oxygen. The circulatory system (e.g., heart) pumps blood. Blood picks up oxygen in lungs and delivers it to cells. Carbon dioxide from cells is carried back to lungs to be exhaled. This interaction ensures cells get oxygen and waste is removed.

Answer:

The respiratory system (lungs) and circulatory system (heart) work together. Lungs take in oxygen. Heart pumps blood. Blood gets oxygen in lungs, delivers it to cells, and brings back carbon dioxide (removed via lungs). This keeps cells oxygenated and removes waste.
