AB The  fundamental  purpose  of  the  cardiorespiratory  system  is  to  deliver  O2  and  nutrients  to  cells  and  to  remove  CO2  and  other  metabolic  products  from  them.  Proper  maintenance  of  this  function  depends  not  only  on  intact  cardiovascular  and  respiratory  systems,  but  also  on  an  adequate  number  of  red  blood  cells  and  hemoglobin,  and  a  supply  of  inspired  gas  containing  adequate  O2.
