    2. 2 INTRODUCTION The two systems that cooperate to supply O2 and eliminate CO2 are the cardiovascular and the respiratory system. The respiratory system provides for gas exchange. The cardiovascular system transports the respiratory gases. Failure of either system has the same effect on the body: disruption of homeostasis and rapid death of cells from oxygen starvation and buildup of waste products. Respiration is the exchange of gases between the atmosphere, blood, and cells. It takes place in three basic steps: ventilation (breathing), external (pulmonary) respiration, and internal (tissue) respiration.

    3. 3 The Respiratory System Cells continually use O2 & release CO2 Respiratory system designed for gas exchange Cardiovascular system is what transports gases in blood Failure of either system leads to rapid cell death from O2 starvation
