Detailed explanation-1: -Your respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your lungs are the pair of spongy, pinkish-gray organs in your chest. When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to your blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled (breathed out).
Detailed explanation-3: -The main job of the lungs and the respiratory system is to give your body oxygen and move waste products, such as carbon dioxide, out of your body. This happens when you breathe. This process is called respiration.
