The lungs hold air that is breathed in. Oxygen gas in the air moves into the blood. The heart pumps to transports this oxygenated blood to cells in the body that need it to produce energy.

Does the respiratory system transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells?

The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.


What occurs with oxygen and carbon dioxide transport within the body?

Respiratory system


What is the name for the respiratory and the circulatory system combined?

Which organ system in humans is most directly involved in transport of oxygen?

The respiratory system is most directly involved in the transport of oxygen in humans. Oxygen enters the body through the lungs during inhalation and is then transported by the circulatory system via red blood cells to tissues and organs where it is needed for cellular respiration.


What two body systems work together to get oxygen?

The respiratory system and the circulatory system work together to transport oxygen to cells throughout the body. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through breathing, while the circulatory system carries oxygen-rich blood to tissues and organs.


What are the parts that make up cardiovascular system and the respiratory system?

What body system helps humans breathe?

The Respiratory System consists of your lungs and your air canals.


What systems are involved in O2 transport?

The respiratory system is responsible for the intake of oxygen, while the cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting oxygen to tissues via the bloodstream. The circulatory system then delivers oxygen to cells for cellular respiration and removes carbon dioxide waste.


What is the purpose of a respiratory system?

To breathe. Transport oxygen to lungs & then to bloodstream where it gets carried to brain, muscles, etc.


What organ system is directly involved in transport of oxygen?

The respiratory system is directly involved in the transport of oxygen. This system includes the lungs, where oxygen is taken in during inhalation and transported to the bloodstream to be circulated throughout the body.


How the respiratory work?

Basically, the respiratory system works like transport system. As you breath oxygen is transported through the airways to the circulatory system. The circulatory system then delivers carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be breathed back out.
