Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The respiratory system’s main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases. Once in the lungs, oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through your body. At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each air sac is surrounded by a network of fine blood vessels (capillaries). The oxygen in inhaled air passes across the thin lining of the air sacs and into the blood vessels. This is known as diffusion. The oxygen in the blood is then carried around the body in the bloodstream, reaching every cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide this oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism. It also helps to regulate pH of the blood. Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gas Exchange – oxygen and carbon dioxide. Breathing – movement of air. Sound Production. Olfactory Assistance – sense of smell. Protection – from dust and microbes entering body through mucus production, cilia, and coughing.
