Answer 1

The body system pictured is the circulatory system, while the body system responsible for gas exchange is the respiratory system. The circulatory system interacts with the respiratory system by transporting oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the body's tissues and returning carbon dioxide-rich blood back to the lungs for exhalation. This coordination ensures that oxygen needed for cellular respiration is delivered effectively while removing waste gases from the body.
