    The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide through a multi-step process. Air enters through the nose or mouth and travels through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles before reaching the alveoli in the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli where oxygen passes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide moves out. Key components include the trachea, lungs, diaphragm and alveoli. The respiratory system functions automatically to supply the body with oxygen.

    Respiratory system

    Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells,


    including plant cells and animal cells.
    Three types of respiration include internal, external, and
    cellular respiration. External respiration is the breathing process. It
    involves inhalation and exhalation of gases..
    What are the 4 types of respiration?

    BREATHING or ventilation. EXTERNAL RESPIRATION, which is


    the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between inhaled air
    and the blood. INTERNAL RESPIRATION, which is the exchange of
    gases between the blood and tissue fluids.
    CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

    What is the difference between breathing and respiration?


    Breathing is a biophysical process that involves the exchange of gases
    through inhalation and exhalation. Respiration is a biochemical process
    to release energy from organic compounds which are then used for
    performing different physical activities.

    We need to get oxygen from the air into the blood, and we need to
    remove waste carbon dioxide from the blood into the air. Moving gases
    like this is called gas exchange.

    Nose and mouth: Airways. The air goes in and out of the
    body.
    • Trachea: (windpipe) this is the tube which carries air
    from the throat into the lungs. The primary function of the trachea is to
    transport air to and from the lungs. Without a trachea, a person would
    not be able to breathe.
    • Lungs: The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system, as they
    perform a vital role in breathing: gas exchange. the lungs are not the same
    size, the lung on the
    left side is smaller than the lung on the right. This extra
    space leaves room for your heart. They allow you to take
    in fresh air, get rid of bad air.
    This larger right side is for collecting more deoxygenated blood and
    give more oxygenated blood to our body.
    Bronchial tubes: The trachea divides into two tubes called bronchi or
    bronchial tubes, one entering the left and one entering the right lung
    • Bronchioles: very narrow tubes and they lead to alveolar sacs.
    • Alveoli:have very thin walls which permit the exchange of gases
    Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
    Diaphragm : is a broad band of muscle which sits underneath the lungs.
    It works with your lungs to allow you to inhale and exhale air.

    The job of the respiratory system is very simple: to bring


    OXYGEN into your body and to remove the CARBON
    DIOXIDE from your body. Your body needs oxygen to
    survive.

    The larynx commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the


    neck involved in breathing, producing sound and protecting the trachea
    against food aspiration. 
    The trachea, colloquially called the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube
    that connects the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs, allowing the passage
    of air, and so is present in almost all air-breathing animals with lungs.
    The trachea extends from the larynx and branches into the two primary
    bronchi.
    A bronchus, which is also known as a main or primary bronchus,
    represents the airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air into the
    lungs. Bronchi will branch into smaller tubes that become bronchioles

    The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans


    and many other animals including a few fish and some snails. In
    mammals and most other vertebrates, two lungs are located near the
    backbone on either side of the heart.

    Muscles between ribs   help stabilize your upper body and help you
    breathe.

    The diaphragm is the primary muscle used in respiration, which is the


    process of breathing. This dome-shaped muscle is located just below the
    lungs and heart. It contracts continually as you breathe in and out.
    Alveoli are filled with air and look like bunches of grapes! They are
    about 600 million alveoli in your lungs and they are all covered with
    capillaries, which is where the oxygen gets into your blood!

    The respiratory system works uncontrolled by itself, it works even if you


    do not control it while sleeping, eating
