Cardiorespiratory System

The cardiorespiratory system includes the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, working together to deliver oxygen to your body and remove waste like carbon dioxide. When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen, which then passes into your blood. Your heart pumps this oxygen-rich blood to your tissues and organs. Simultaneously, it helps transport carbon dioxide from your body back to your lungs, so you can breathe it out. This system maintains the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your body, supporting energy production, overall function, and health.
