Maybe This Can Help you i Guess

Differences in sparrow bill length are due to adaptation and natural selection. Individuals with the "best" size bill will be most successful in acquiring resources from their environment. Sparrows with 10 mm long bill size will be more successful at crushing seeds and pass the traits on to offspring for similar-sized bills. Those individuals with larger and smaller beak sizes will not be as successful in acquiring resources and will pass on fewer traits for bill size. In order for natural selection to work, there must be a variation of traits. Individuals with the "best" variation to crack seeds will be selected over time because they have adapted to the environment.

S_A_V [24]

The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are the lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe. The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

The respiratory system works directly with the circulatory system to provide oxygen to the body. Oxygen taken in from the respiratory system moves into blood vessels that then circulate oxygen-rich blood to tissues and cells.
