You have examined several body systems that rely and work with each other in order function properly. One very important task that amphibians and all living things need is to efficiently exchange gases in order to survive. Explain in a brief essay how the cardiovascular system and respiratory system work with each other based on your experience and observations from this virtual lab.

The task of the respiratory system is the exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide within the body; however, the respiratory system alone has no mechanism for the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the body for absorption and transfer of carbon dioxide from the body for expulsion. The cardiovascular system assists in this by moving oxygen-saturated blood from the lungs to different parts of the body and carbon dioxide rich blood from the body to the lungs.
