Summary

• The respiratory system is the body system witch takes oxygen in to the body and to the blood and gives out oxygen and carbon dioxide . The respiratory system involves the nose, the mouth, where air enters the body, the pharynx [Throat], where air passes to the larynx, or voice box, then the air enters the windpipe, also known as the trachea. The trachea divides into two tubes called the bronchi, which allows air to enter into the lungs. Your lungs are large sponge-like organs in which oxygen and carbon dioxide are passed between the blood and the environment.
