Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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). This process, called gas exchange, is essential to life.

Detailed explanation-2: -The role of the respiratory system is to breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. This is known as respiration. The cells of the body use oxygen to perform functions that keep us alive.

Detailed explanation-3: -We get oxygen by breathing in fresh air, and we remove carbon dioxide from the body by breathing out stale air.

Detailed explanation-4: -The air we breathe: three vital respiratory gases and the red blood cell: oxygen, nitric oxide, and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -While we breathe, we inhale oxygen along with nitrogen and carbon dioxide which co-exist in air. The inhaled air reaches lungs and enters alveoli where oxygen diffuses out from alveoli into blood, which enters into lungs via pulmonary capillaries, and carbon dioxide diffuses into alveoli from blood.
