Answer 1

The correct response is: By exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The circulatory system and respiratory system work together to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air, which then diffuses into the blood in the lungs. The circulatory system transports this oxygen to cells throughout the body, while also carrying carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular metabolism, back to the lungs for exhalation.
