Technically the blood is connected to the lungs, as it carries away oxygen taken in by diffusion gradients across the capillary walls. And it's often more Carbon-DI-oxide not monoxide in bodies.
Plus even with the flammable gasses, you would need some degree of heat to ignite them and the only real method i can think of doing that is through the bloodstream. It would be pretty silly to try and invent ways in which a dragon has cold bloodstream as well some form of heating system in it's lungs, just to keep to the characteristics of other lizards because after all, science is open to changes.
[And a side note on behalf of Ghostiemon, we are discussing ANTHRO dragons, not Quasimodo dragons or kung fu ninja dragons or any other type, just anthro.]
