MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide this oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism. It also helps to regulate pH of the blood. Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you breathe in, air enters your airways and travels down into the air sacs, or alveoli, in your lungs. This is where gas exchange takes place. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -How does the circulatory system work? Blood that is low in oxygen collects in your heart’s right atrium, one of the heart’s 4 chambers. It moves into the right ventricle, which pumps this blood to your lungs where your red blood cells pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. You exhale the carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your respiratory system relies on your circulatory system to deliver the oxygen it gathers, while the muscles of your heart cannot function without the oxygen they receive from your lungs.
