Body systems
All living organisms need 4 things in order to live
Energy  (plants, meat, sunlight)
Energy  (plants, meat, sunlight) Water
Energy  (plants, meat, sunlight) Water Gases  ( Oxygen, O 2  ; Carbon dioxide, CO 2 )
Energy  (plants, meat, sunlight) Water Gases  ( Oxygen, O 2  ; Carbon dioxide, CO 2 ) Waste removal

Excretory system cleans the blood, expels waste through the urine
Excretory system 2 kidneys 2 ureters  (urine tubes) 1 bladder Cleans the blood, waste exits through urine
 
Circulatory system Heart Blood vessels arteries  (take blood away from heart) veins  (bring blood toward heart) capillaries   (connect arteries to veins)
Circulatory system
heart
Breathing collects oxygen  (O 2) releases carbon dioxide (CO 2) Respiratory system
1 trachea 2 lungs Respiratory system
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together.  The blood that returns to the heart through the veins is depleted of oxygen.  First it is pumped to the lungs.
Small sacs with thin walls allow gases to be transferred from the blood
Oxygen is taken in from the air as carbon dioxide is released
Fresh (oxygenated) blood returns to the heart to be pumped back out to the body through the arteries.
