Oxygen is carried through the blood to the lungs and the rest of your body so you can function.
Why does an earthworm have an open or closed circulatory system?
Earthworms have a closed circulatory system. Blood is pumped throughout its body by ringed blood vessels. An open circulatory system is not contained in vessels. In a closed circulatory system oxygen is carried in blood! hope this helps=)
What systems share the responsibility of supplying cells of the body with oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide?
The blood (circulatory system) carries oxygen to your lungs (respiratory system). Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin molecule in your blood and is carried back to the heart, then pumped out to the other parts of the body.
What system does the circulatory system work with to obtain oxygen for the body?
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to get oxygen to cells. Oxygen transfers from the respiratory to the circulatory system at the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
Which system is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells?
The respiratory system, which is made up of the heart, lungs and blood vessels.
Why does the respiratory and circulatory work so closely together?
When you breathe in air it goes in your lungs and the oxygen diffuses into the blood stream via the capillaries. Then the oxygen is carried throughout your body as needed.
What organ system delievers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues?
the (circulatory) respiratory system (blood flow carries oxygen)
Where is haemoglogin and what is its main function within the circulatory system?
it's hemoglobin. It holds and transports oxygen. oxygen is hydrophobic and so can't enter your blood. It has to be carried by hemoglobin.
The circulatory system is most dependent on which other organ?
The circulatory system is dependent on the lungs. The lungs bring oxygen into the body, and the circulatory system transports that oxygen to body tissues.
Why is closed circulatory system is more efficient than open circulatory system?
not all open circulatory systems transport oxygen. Insects have no oxygen in their blood
What imports and exports the circulatory system?
The circulatory system imports oxygen and exports waste materials or carbon dioxide. The circulatory system distributes fresh oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body.
