Read the passage and answer the following question(s).



The Body and Respiration



The respiratory and circulatory systems are made up of organs that work together to deliver oxygen to the rest of the body. These organ systems also work together to release carbon dioxide that is produced as a waste product when the cells of the body perform cellular respiration.



Oxygen is inhaled through the mouth and nose, and carbon dioxide is exhaled. Red blood cells deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide through blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries.

The diagram shows the respiratory system and the circulatory system.

Arteries supply the body's tissues with oxygen, and veins remove carbon dioxide.

Justification: Oxygenated blood is carried from the lungs/heart to tissues in arteries; veins return deoxygenated blood (high in CO2) back to the heart and lungs for removal.
