In a multicellular organism the levels of organization are: cells, tissues, organ, organ system, and organism (from smallest to largest). All parts are specialized (hold a particular structure to complete a particular function). However, all organ systems work together for the good of the whole.
The respiratory system is composed of the lungs. Its main function is the intaking of oxygen and exhaling of carbon dioxide.
The oxygen that is inhaled by the respiratory system is delivered to the rest of the body via the circulatory system. The hemoglobin in the red blood cells attaches to the oxygen. As the blood travels through the veins and arteries, it drops off the oxygen from the lungs to the cells and picks up the carbon dioxide from the cells and delivers it to the lungs to be exhaled.
Some of the oxygen that is inhaled by the respiratory system and delivered by the circulatory system is used during the digestive processes of cellular respiration in the digestive system. In this process, food (glucose) combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Hence, some of the carbon dioxide that the blood carries to the lungs is produced during the breakdown of organic materials in the digestive system.

The three systems interrelate for a complete function of the body. The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together to perform the gas exchange function. Without gas exchange function, the cells would die, hence, it is crucial for these systems to work together.
Through respiratory system, the oxygen enters the body and then it is transported as oxyhaemoglobin to the cells with the help of cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system also performs the work to transport the waste product carbon dioxide to respiratory system, that evacuates it.
Hence, whithout respiratory system, the oxygen could not enter the body and it could not discharge the carbon dioxide waste. Without cardiovascular system, the oxygen and carbon dioxide could not travel the body.
The cardiovascular system relates with digestive system for an optimum heart rate. The digestive system produces nutrients and with help of cardiovascular system transports these nutrients where it is needed. The digestive toxins are also discharged from system with the help of cardiovascular system that transports them to kidneys.
Hence, the healthy equilibrium of human body is reached if all these systems work together in harmony.

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract also called the digestive tract and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine which includes the rectum and anus. Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The digestive system helps the body digest food.
