Detailed explanation-1: -Ventilation, breathing, and the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues to blood vessels are all respiratory system functions. The transport of carbon dioxide from the lungs to blood vessels is not a respiratory system function.

Detailed explanation-2: -A study in mice provided direct evidence that the lung is a major site for production of platelets, a type of blood cell. The findings suggest new directions for developing treatments for people who have low levels of platelets.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation).
