What is the respiratory system?
  • The respiratory system is breathing to restore
    the oxygen in your blood

What is the respiratory systems primary function?
  • The primary function of the 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 system's means of getting oxygen
    to the blood.
