Question

describe the respiratory system

Answer 1

Answer:

The respiratory system is what allows us to breathe and exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are the lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe.

Your respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood. Common problems include allergies, diseases or infections.

There are five functions of the respiratory system.

• Gas Exchange – oxygen and carbon dioxide.
• Breathing – movement of air.
• Sound Production.
• Olfactory Assistance – sense of smell.
