Answer:

The body's cells use oxygen for metabolism, and this process creates the waste product carbon dioxide. With the help of the lymphatic and circulatory systems, the skeletal system works with the respiratory system by creating red blood cells in the bones that aid in respiration facilitated by the lungs.
