Mind you, it is not a system. When the right ventricle of the heart pumps de-oxygenated blood into the lung through the pulmonary artery, the carbon di oxide in the blood enters the aveolar of the lung and the oxygen in the aveolar also enters the blood stream surrounding these aveoli and this is due to the partial pressure difference of both systems. Then, the carbon di oxide passes through the bronchioles-bronchus-trachea and out through the nasal cavity.
respiatory systm
Respiratory acidosis results from the lungs' inability to remove the carbon dioxide that the body produces. The excess carbon dioxide in the system causes the blood to become overly acidic, resulting in the condition, respiratory acidosis.
The part of the circulatory system that carries either oxygen or carbon dioxide is blood.
The function of the respiratory system is to allow gas exchange it, taking oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood. The oxygen absorbed is used by the body cells to carry out respiration, the release of energy from food: sugar + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY The carbon dioxide made by respiration is removed when we breathe out.
Carbon dioxide and water
In the lungs, carbon dioxide is concentrated more in the blood. The alveoli keeps the carbon dioxide at a lower level than in the blood.

It is the lungs that remove carbon dioxide and water from blood. The majority of vertebrate animals have two lungs.
