How does the respiratory system connect to other bodily systems?I'm doing a science project, and talking about how Pulmonologoy and the respiratory system relates to other bodily system. I've already found info on the Digestive and and Cardiology system, but I'm at a loss for how it relates to the Endocrine, Excretory and Nervous systems. If you know any or all, please answer! Thanks so much!

Every cell needs oxygen to work...as far as I know. And all other systems have cells right?

nervous system: there are nerves that enervate the diaphragm (and thoracic muscles), which are critical to muscular manipulation of the lung volume.
Endocrine: see renin-angiotensin system.
Excretory: perhaps the surfactant excretions that decrease surface energies, so that the lung doesn't collapse onto itself.
