The cardiovascular and respiratory systems work towards a common goal of getting oxygen to tissues and getting carbon dioxide out of the body (Cloe‚ 2013). Each system has their own function to help the other‚ but the main focus is to oxygenate the blood. The body does this through one of the bodies organs‚ the lungs.
