Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product of cellular metabolism. You get rid of it when you breathe out (exhale). This gas is transported in the opposite direction to oxygen: It passes from the bloodstream – across the lining of the air sacs – into the lungs and out into the open.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your lungs bring fresh oxygen into your body. They remove the carbon dioxide and other waste gases that your body’s doesn’t need. To breathe in (inhale), you use the muscles of your rib cage – especially the major muscle, the diaphragm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Everyday functions of the body like digesting your food, moving your muscles or even just thinking, need oxygen.
