FalseThe statement is false because the respiratory and circulatory systems are closely interconnected. When a patient has trouble breathing due to a lung infection, it can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the blood. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. If the oxygen levels drop, it affects the circulatory system's ability to deliver sufficient oxygen to tissues and organs, potentially leading to systemic effects. Therefore, a problem in the respiratory system can indeed affect the circulatory system.
