Answer:

Circulatory system? (your blood system)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your respiratory system is the first to get the actual oxygen, so to speak, and then that oxygen enters the red blood cells of the circulatory system via tiny air sacs of the lungs called alveoli. The protein hemoglobin in red blood cells allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen.
