The Respiratory System
The main organs in the respiratory system are the
nasal cavity (nose) trachea, lungs, bronchi, and
diaphragm. The purpose of this system is to
take in oxygen from the air you breathe and to
release carbon dioxide back into the air. As the
blood passes through the lungs, it picks up the
oxygen and takes it to the cells of the body,
where the blood then picks up carbon dioxide and
returns it to the lungs.
