Question: How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to remove waste?
Explanation:
As oxygenated blood moves through the body's organs, nutrients from the blood enter the tissues and thus the cells of the human body. The above process is called major circulation, this circuit is the main circulation. It carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all body regions, and then back to the heart.
Due to cellular metabolism, waste products are released into the bloodstream, specifically the veins. The pulmonary or minor circulation is the part of the circulatory system that transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. One of the waste products is carbon dioxide. The veins carry deoxygenated blood and carbon dioxide back to the heart, which sends the blood to the lungs so that this blood can re-oxygenate and start the cycle again. The lungs get rid of carbon dioxide when exhalation occurs.
Blood is also carried to the urinary system to remove waste products. The urinary system filters waste that can be found in the bloodstream.
Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:
The circulatory system and the respiratory system work together through the pulmonary or minor circulation to transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and thus eliminate a specific waste product: carbon dioxide. In effect, the veins carry deoxygenated blood and carbon dioxide back to the heart, which sends the blood to the lungs, so that this blood becomes re-oxygenated and the cycle begins again. The lungs get rid of carbon dioxide when exhalation occurs.
