Abstract

One of the key functions of the respiratory and circulatory systems is to transfer oxygen from the atmosphere to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the atmosphere. To accomplish this, the two systems need to act in concert and consequently interact with each other in many different ways. Broadly, these interactions can be classified into neural, humoral, functional, and mechanical.
