RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The respiratory system is the biological system that introduces respiratory gases to the inside of the body and performs a gas exchange (o2 → CO2) through externaal respiration for bodily fuctions to operate. In humans and mammals‚ the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways‚ lungs and plenty of muscle‚ nose‚ pharyngeal regions‚ larynx‚ and trachea. Five disorders that relate or effect the respiratory system are: Pulmonary HypertensionChronic Obstuctuve pulmonary
