Exchanges are made in the smallest blood vessels known as capillaries. It is here that oxygen and nutrients are delivered from the blood to the tissues, while carbon dioxide and waste products are picked up to be carried away.

What is the difference between the respiratory and the circulatory system?

The digestive system breaks down and absorbs food. The circulatory system circulates blood through your body. The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide. With the help of the circulatory system it transfers these gases to and from your cells.


Where does oxygenation occur?

Oxygen exchanges occur in the lungs where the circulatory system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide into the lungs. Oxygen exchanges also occur in the capillaries where the circulatory system delivers oxygen to the cells and picks up carbon dioxide from the cells.

How is the work of the digestive and circulatory system related to the respiratory system?

The respiratory system provides oxygen so the body can "burn" (oxidize) the food that is brought into the body through the digestive system. The circulatory system brings nourishment to all cells of the body. The circulatory system exchanges critical gases with the respiratory system; unneeded carbon dioxide is exchanged for much needed oxygen.

Protects body with blood clots, antibodies, and other protein molecules in the blood.
