Which best describes the relationship between the circulatory system and the respiratory system?

The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs and removes carbon dioxide. The circulatory system carries these gases in the blood between the lungs and the body’s tissues, so it serves as the transport system for the respiratory system. Red blood cells do not diffuse into the lungs, and hemoglobin is already inside red blood cells.
