Respiration

Respiration is the act of breathing, involving inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
Inhaling involves taking in oxygen.
Exhaling involves breathing out carbon dioxide.

Respiratory System

The respiratory system is made up of organs that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The system consists of:
- Windpipe (trachea)
- Large airways (bronchi)
- Small airways (bronchioles)
- Lungs

Upper Respiratory Tract

The upper respiratory tract consists of:
- Nose
- Nasal cavity
- Sinuses
- Larynx
- Trachea

Lower Respiratory Tract

The lower respiratory tract consists of:
- Lungs
- Bronchi and bronchioles
- Air sacs (alveoli)

Lungs

The lungs take in oxygen, which is essential for the body's cells to live and function normally.
The lungs also eliminate carbon dioxide, a waste product of the cells.
