A circulatory system (cardiovascular system in biology classes) is an organ system that moves substances to and from cells; it can also help stabilize body temperature and pH (part of homeostasis). There are three types of circulatory systems (from simplest to most complex): no circulatory system, open circulatory system, and closed circulatory system.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

Lung\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\nAir enters and leaves the lungs via a conduit of cartilaginuous passageways — the bronchi and bronchioles. In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles.

In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lung is the essential organ of respiration in air-breathing vertebrates. Its principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to excrete carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This it accomplishes with the mosaic of specialized cells that form millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs where gas exchange takes place. Lungs also have nonrespiratory functions.\n\nMedical terms related to the lung often begin with pulmo-, from the Latin pulmonarius ("of the lungs"), cognate with the Greek pleumon ("lung").\n\nRespiratory function\n\nEnergy production from aerobic respiration often requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a by-product, creating a need for an efficient means of oxygen delivery to cells and carbon dioxide excretion from cells. In smaller organisms, such as single-celled bacteria, this process of gas exchange can take place entirely by simple diffusion. In larger organisms, this is not possible; only a small proportion of cells are close enough to the surface for oxygen from the atmosphere to enter them through diffusion. Two major adaptations made it possible for organisms to attain great multicellularity: an efficient circulatory system that conveyed gases to and from the deepest tissues in the body, and a large, internalised respiratory system that centralized the task of obtaining oxygen from the atmosphere and bringing it into the body, whence it could rapidly be distributed to all tissues via the circulatory system.\n\nIn air-breathing vertebrates, respiration occurs in a series of steps. Air is brought into the animal via the airways — in reptiles, birds and mammals this often consists of the nose; the pharynx; the larynx; the trachea; the bronchi and bronchioles; and the terminal branches of the respiratory tree. The lungs of mammals are a rich lattice of alveoli, which provide an enormous surface area for gas exchange. A network of fine capillaries allows transport of blood over the surface of alveoli. Oxygen from the air inside the alveoli diffuses into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the alveoli, both across thin alveolar membranes. The drawing and expulsion of air is driven by muscular action; in early tetrapods, air was driven into the lungs by the pharyngeal muscles, whereas in reptiles, birds and mammals a more complicated musculoskeletal system is used. In the mammal, a large muscle, the diaphragm (in addition to the internal intercostal muscles), drive ventilation by periodically altering the intra-thoracic volume and pressure; by increasing volume and thus decreasing pressure, air flows into the airways down a pressure gradient, and by reducing volume and increasing pressure, the reverse occurs. During normal breathing, expiration is passive and no muscles are contracted.. [\n\nNonrespiratory functions\n\nIn addition to respiratory functions such as gas exchange and regulation of hydrogen ion concentration, the lungs also:\n\n    * influence the concentration of biologically active substances and drugs used in medicine in arterial blood\n    * filter out small blood clots fo

The endocrine system produces hormones and works with the circulatory system - that carries them. The nervous system works with the respiratory system and every other system in the body; such as the gastrointestinal system and reproductive systems.

The Circulation of Blood\n\nThe human circulatory system is really a two-part system whose purpose is to bring oxygen-bearing blood to all the tissues of the body. When the heart contracts it pushes the blood out into two major loops or cycles. In the systemic loop, the blood circulates into the body’s systems, bringing oxygen to all its organs, structures and tissues and collecting carbon dioxide waste. In the pulmonary loop, the blood circulates to and from the lungs, to release the carbon dioxide and pick up new oxygen. The systemic cycle is controlled by the left side of the heart, the pulmonary cycle by the right side of the heart. Let’s look at what happens during each cycle:\n\nThe systemic loop begins when the oxygen-rich blood coming from the lungs enters the upper left chamber of the heart, the left atrium. As the chamber fills, it presses open the mitral valve and the blood flows down into the left ventricle. When the ventricles contract during a heartbeat, the blood on the left side is forced into the aorta. This largest artery of the body is an inch wide. The blood leaving the aorta brings oxygen to all the body’s cells through the network of ever smaller arteries and capillaries. The used blood from the body returns to the heart through the network of veins. All of the blood from the body is eventually collected into the two largest veins: the superior vena cava, which receives blood from the upper body, and the inferior vena cava, which receives blood from the lower body region. Both venae cavae empty the blood into the right atrium of the heart.\n\nFrom here the blood begins its journey through the pulmonary cycle. From the right atrium the blood descends into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed into the pulmonary artery that branches into two main parts: one going to the left lung, one to the right lung. The fresh, oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.\n\nAlthough the circulatory system is made up of two cycles, both happen at the same time. The contraction of the heart muscle starts in the two atria, which push the blood into the ventricles. Then the walls of the ventricles squeeze together and force the blood out into the arteries: the aorta to the body and the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Afterwards, the heart muscle relaxes, allowing blood to flow in from the veins and fill the atria again. In healthy people the normal (resting) heart rate is about 72 beats per minute, but it can go much higher during strenuous exercise. Scientists have estimated that it takes about 30 seconds for a given portion of the blood to complete the entire cycle: from lungs to heart to body, back to the heart and out to the lungs.\n\n^_^

The Cardiovascular System\n\n\n The cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system form what is collectively called the circulatory system. Together, these systems transport oxygen, nutrients, cell wastes, hormones, and many other substances to and from all cells in the body. The trillions of cells in the human body take up nutrients and excrete wastes every minute of every day. Although the pace of this exchange may increase with activity or slow with rest, it happens continuously. If it stops, so does life. Of the two systems, the cardiovascular system is the primary transport operator; the lymphatic system aids it in its function.\n\n\nDesign: Parts of the Cardiovascular System\n\nCardiovascular comes from the Greek word cardia, meaning "heart," and the Latin vasculum, meaning "small vessel." The basic components of the cardiovascular system are the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood. The system can be compared to a large muscular pump (the heart) that sends a fluid (blood) through a series of large and small tubes (blood vessels). As blood circulates through the increasingly intricate system of vessels, it picks up oxygen from the lungs, nutrients from the small intestine, and .....

You can learn a lot about breathing from the article about it on Wikipedia.  The link is listed in the Source section.\n\nHere's part of the entry:\n\n"Breathing is only part of the process of delivering oxygen to where it is needed in the body. Breathing in, or inhaling, is usually an active movement, with the contraction of chest and diaphragm muscles needed. At rest, breathing out, or exhaling, is normally a passive process powered by the elastic recoil of the chest, similar to a deflating balloon. The process of gas exchange occurs in the alveoli by passive diffusion of gasses between the alveolar gas and the blood passing by in the lung capillaries. Once in the blood, the heart powers the flow dissolved gasses around the body in the circulation."\n\nSo the muscles in the chest and the diaphragm that brings the air in, while exhaling is just the lungs deflating.

The respiratory system is how you breath in and out. In fact, any organism that participates in gas exchange has a respiratory system. In humans and other mammals, the respiratory system consists of the airways, the lungs, and the respiratory muscles that mediate the movement of air into and out of the body.

The first answer was good, although mostly copy$paste \nhttp://www.nda.ox.ac.uk/wfsa/html/u05/u05_010.htm\n\nThe circulatory system is regulated both by the autonomic nervous system (with two antagonistic systems that may increase peripheral circulation or visceral circulation, slow/accelerate heart rate, etc) and by the endocrine system. Hormones have slower, but more long-term effects than nervous "orders" but both are necessary.

The respiratory system starts with the nose and mouth where we breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. The oxygen travels down the windpipe(trachea) and into the bronchi contained in each lung. The windpipe splits into two bronchi which go into each lung. Each bronchi spreads into smaller structures called bronchioles. These spread through each of the lungs. Each bronchiole has a number of smaller structures known as alveoli. The alveoli have a very large surface area and is where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen replaces carbon dioxide and is taken to all parts of the body via the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide is toxic to humans in high concentrations which is why it is breathed out. \nThe main structures are nose, mouth, windpipe, lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.

There are two organ systems that work in conjunction with each other to provide tissues with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.  Those are the respiratory and the circulatory system (the major organs of these systems being the lungs and the heart respectively).\n\nNutrients are provided by the combined actions of the digestive and circulatory system, and wastes are removed through the combined actions of the circulatory and excretory systems.

>>>What happens when the air is pumped into the lungs? \n\nThe lungs expand.\n\n>>Compare the walls of the atria and the ventricle?\n\nThe atria walls are thin and flexible. The ventricle wall is  thick and more rigid.\n\n>>>Describe the movement of the leg muscles as the leg is bent and straightened.\n\nWhen the leg is straightened the muscle on the opposite side of the joint expands. You really do need some detailed digrams or a frog carcasse to explain this properly.\n\n>>>>How is the location of the nares an adaptation to living water? \n\nThe nares are located high on the snout and towards the front. That allows the frog to breathe while keeping almost all of its body beneath the atwer line. \n\n>>>How does the length of the small intestine relate to its function in absorbing digested food?\n\nThe longer the intestine the more time food has to digest and the more thorough digestion will be.\n\n>>>Explain why the frogs hearts has a thicker wall than the atrium.\n\n\nHuh? The atrium is part of the heart. Part of the heart can't have a thicker wall than the heart.
