The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the lungs. The gas then diffuses through the alveolar walls and into red blood cells (erythrocytes). Carbon dioxide carried back within red blood cells diffuses back through the alveolar walls and is exhaled out through the mouth.…

The respiratory system takes oxygen (O2) into the body and eliminates carbon dioxide (CO2). It also enables speech production. Our bodies need energy for movement, growth and reproduction. This energy can only be obtained from the food we eat. By the process of respiration, chemicals of food are eliminated to produce energy that can later be used by the cells of the body.…
It provides oxygen whilst removing carbon dioxide. The airwauy begins with the nose and the mouth, continues down into the throat, into the bronchi that eventually feed into the lungs. The term respiration means the exchange of gases between body cell and the environment (Waugh & Grant 2014). After absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves the lungs and is carried to your heart. Your heart then pumps it through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and organs. As the cells use the oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed into the blood. Your blood then carries the carbon dioxide back to your lungs through the capillaries, where it is removed from the body when you exhale.Breathing supplies oxygen and elimates carbon dioxide. Our lungs inflate drawing in air between around 12 to 20 times a minute, as breathing brings oxygen into the body while carbon dioxide is exhaled.…
In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles, talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all people would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy, and energy is required for this. We need energy to be able to move and use our muscles which also only operate when they are warm. Energy is the ability to do work in our bodies. That means doing everything that a body needs to do to stay alive and to grow: pumping ions across membranes, making new proteins, making new lipids, making hormones, making new cells, neural function, contracting muscles, replacing damaged components, absorbing nutrients, excreting wastes and pumping blood.…
