Lewis is exercising and his muscles need oxygen. Which best describes how systems interact to bring his body into homeostasis?

The respiratory system takes oxygen into the body and transfers it into the blood. The circulatory system carries that oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, where it supports their work during exercise. Choice A correctly describes this sequence; the skeletal system supports and protects the body but does not use oxygen to contract like muscles do.
