Respiratory System
Function: Absorbs oxygen & expels carbon dioxide. Supplies blood with oxygen in the lungs and removes carbon dioxide.
Major Organs
Lungs - GAS EXCHANGE Carry oxygen into your body and carbon dioxide out of your body.
Trachea - The wind pipe.
Bronchi or bronchial tubes -
tubes that enter to the lungs
Diaphragm - Breathing starts with this dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs
Important Info: Oxygen travels from the respiratory system directly into the circulatory system. The CIRCULATORY system carries OXYGEN to all parts of the body.
