The Cardiovascular System

Question 3 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 WHITE IC

The respiratory system allows for gas exchange to happen in the lungs. How do the respiratory and cardiovascular systems interact?

Answer
A
The respiratory system supplies the carbon dioxide that the cardiovascular system transports to the different cells for the production of energy.
B
The respiratory system supplies the oxygen that the cardiovascular system transports to the different cells for the production of energy.
C
The cardiovascular system supplies the carbon dioxide that the respiratory system transports to the different cells for the production of energy.
D
The cardiovascular system supplies the oxygen that the respiratory system transports to the different cells for the production of energy.

Explanation

In the lungs, oxygen moves from the air into the blood. The cardiovascular system then carries that oxygen to cells, where it is used to release energy from food. Carbon dioxide is a waste product carried back to the lungs to be exhaled, so choice B correctly describes the interaction.
