Study Notes
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Connection
- The respiratory and circulatory systems are closely connected, as they work together to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body.
Circulatory System Function
- The primary function of the circulatory system is to transport oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products, such as carbon dioxide.
Gas Exchange in Respiratory System
- The exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) occurs in the alveoli, small air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed into the blood and carbon dioxide is removed.
