Respiratory System Circulatory
Removes waste gases from the blood by sending them out of the body.
Transports oxygen and needed nutrients to the digestive system so it can maintain the organs.
Acquires oxygen that the digestion system needs for cellular respiration.
Takes waste products from the cells.
Removes waste gases from the blood by sending them out of the body.
The respiratory system works with the digestive system in the following ways:
- Removes waste gases from the blood by sending them out of the body: The respiratory system helps eliminate carbon dioxide, a waste gas produced by the cells during cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide is transported via the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body through exhalation.
- Transports oxygen and needed nutrients to the digestive system: The respiratory system transports oxygen from the air into the bloodstream through the process of inhalation. Oxygen is then delivered to the digestive system via the circulatory system, where it is used by the cells for various metabolic processes.
- Acquires oxygen that the digestive system needs for cellular respiration: Oxygen is essential for the process of cellular respiration, which provides energy to the cells. The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air through inhalation and delivers it to the circulatory system, which then transports it to the digestive system for cellular respiration to occur.
- Takes waste products from the cells: After the nutrients from the digestion process are used by the cells, waste products such as carbon dioxide are produced. The respiratory system removes these waste products from the cells and transports them to the lungs, where they are expelled from the body through exhalation.
In summary, the respiratory system helps remove waste gases from the blood, transports oxygen and nutrients to the digestive system, acquires oxygen for cellular respiration, and eliminates waste gases from the body.
