The circulatory and respiratory systems work together primarily by exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide. The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air and transfers it to the blood, while the circulatory system transports the oxygenated blood to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
