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

Answer
A

B
The respiratory system brings oxygen to the circulatory system, which delivers oxygen to the muscular system.
C
The respiratory system brings oxygen to the circulatory system, which delivers oxygen to the skeletal system.
D
The circulatory system brings oxygen to the respiratory system, which delivers oxygen to the skeletal system.

Explanation

The respiratory system takes oxygen into the lungs, where it enters the blood. The circulatory system then carries that oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, which need oxygen during exercise. Therefore, the best description is that the respiratory system brings oxygen to the circulatory system, which delivers it to the muscular system.
