Does the circulatory system interact with the respiratory system?

[Edit]

Answer

Yes, in a major way. Half of your heart (the right side) is devoted to taking the blood collected from your body and pumping it to the lungs where it releases its carbon dioxide and picks up fresh oxygen. The other half of your heart (the left side) is devoted to collecting this blood from the lungs and pumping it out to the body.
