The respiratory system works closely with the cardiovascular system. As the respiratory system takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the body, the cardiovascular system helps transport these gases to and from the lungs to different parts of the body. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the body's cells via the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs to be exhaled. This exchange of gases is essential for the body to function properly and maintain homeostasis. Additionally, the respiratory system also works with the nervous system to regulate breathing and ensure the body receives an adequate supply of oxygen.
