How does the respiratory system work in conjunction with the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to the body's cells and remove carbon dioxide waste? Specifically, how do the alveoli in the lungs and the hemoglobin in red blood cells facilitate this process?

How does the respiratory system work in conjunction with the circulatory system to deliver oxygen to the body's cells and remove carbon dioxide waste?
The circulatory system's capillaries and alveoli are in close proximity to one another. The diffusion of oxygen into the blood from the alveoli is ensured by such close contact. Additionally, blood's carbon dioxide will diffuse into alveoli where it will be expelled.
To keep the body in a balanced state, the circulatory and respiratory systems collaborate.
Gases are transferred into and out of the blood by the respiratory system.
All regions of the body receive blood thanks to the circulatory system.
