Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary function of the respiratory system, which is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.
Understand that the circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning deoxygenated blood back to the lungs.
Recognize that the respiratory and circulatory systems work closely together to ensure that oxygen is delivered to tissues and organs, and carbon dioxide is removed efficiently.
Consider how the heart, a key component of the circulatory system, pumps oxygen-rich blood received from the lungs to various parts of the body.
Conclude that the respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide the body with oxygen, as they are interdependent in maintaining the body's oxygen and carbon dioxide balance.
