Carbon dioxide is a metabolic waste product transported by the blood within the cardiovascular system, as described in [1], [2], and [3]. The respiratory system facilitates the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood at the alveoli, as detailed in [4], [5], and [6].

claimThe cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to maintain homeostasis by circulating blood to transport oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing carbon dioxide waste.
claimThe cardiovascular system functions to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body via blood, and to eliminate carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste.
claimThe cardiovascular system transports carbon dioxide from body tissues to the respiratory system, where it is removed from the blood and replaced with oxygen, which is then delivered back to the tissues via the bloodstream.
claimThe cardiovascular system circulates blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues while removing waste products and carbon dioxide generated by metabolism.
claimThe respiratory system performs the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen in the alveoli, which receive blood supplied by the cardiovascular system.
claimThe major functions of the cardiovascular system include the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body within the blood, as well as the elimination of carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste.
claimThe exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen occurs in the alveoli of the respiratory system, which receives blood supplied by the cardiovascular system.
claimThe alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the respiratory system where carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and oxygen is returned to the blood.
claimThe respiratory system functions to bring oxygen into the body and expel carbon dioxide by removing carbon dioxide from and returning oxygen to the blood in the alveoli.
