Question
which systems work together so oxygen can be distributed to the cells of your body? how do these two systems work together to accomplish this task?
The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air through inhalation. The circulatory system (specifically the heart and blood vessels) then transports this oxygen - rich blood to the body's cells. The alveoli in the lungs (part of the respiratory system) allow for gas exchange (oxygen into the blood, carbon dioxide out). The heart pumps the oxygenated blood through arteries, arterioles, and capillaries to reach individual cells.
