Respiratory system

The organs that are involved in breathing. These include the nose, throat, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The system for taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide; in terrestrial animals this is accomplished by breathing.The respiratory system is the combined force of many organs operating together to deal with gaseous change between our body and the external environment.

In humans, this involves the mouth and nose cavities, in which gases can enter and leave down the trachea towards the lungs.

gaseous exchange occurs between the lungs and the bloodstream, where oxygen is diffused into the body while carbon dioxide can be exhaled back into the external environment.

respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory systems means of getting oxygen to the blood. And also it can subdivide into an upper respiratory system and LOWER RESIPIRATORY system.
