Everything in the world is made up of different parts that work together to perform a function. These parts can be living or non-living, and they can be small or large. When these parts work together, they form a system. Here, we will understand two human systems: the respiratory system and the circulatory system in humans.
Essential Takeaways
- The respiratory system is responsible for breathing, which is essential for the release of energy.
