During exercise in a Melbourne DP Biology tutorial, breathing rate and heart rate both increase. Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems integrate. Use the labelled diagram, data, or experimental evidence before writing the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that best matches the HL Biology evidence.

Worked practice: biological evidence and answer

Use the labelled biological evidence first, then connect it to the final answer.
