RESPIRATORY AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS:

WORKING WITH OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS

This section presents how the different structures of the respiratory and circulatory
systems work together to transport oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the different parts of
the body and the prevention, detection of diseases affecting the respiratory and
circulatory systems. Refer your answers from page 2-27, Science Learner's Module.
