Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen and to expel carbon dioxide. Which statement explains how the respiratory system coordinates with the circulatory system when performing this function?
A
Both systems ensure that every cell has equal concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
B
Both systems ensure that oxygen is inhaled and delivered to cells, and carbon dioxide is removed from cells by the bloodstream and lungs.
C
Both systems ensure that carbon dioxide reaches the bloodstream, and oxygen is removed from the bloodstream.
D
Both systems ensure that every cell has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and a lower concentration of oxygen.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The circulatory system, which is made up of the heart and blood vessels, supports the respiratory system by bringing blood to and from the lungs. The circulatory system helps deliver nutrients and oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs throughout the body. It also helps remove carbon dioxide and waste products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.
