The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work in different ways with different functions in realtion to the metabolism and with the use of energy. The cardiovascular system in the human body is made up of the heart and blood vessels‚ which are divided into arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The heart is responsible for pumping the blood throughout the blood vessels and is divided into four chambers‚ two of which are responsible for moving deoxygenated blood and two of which move oxygenated blood
