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: -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. When oxygen passes into the bloodstream, carbon dioxide leaves it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The overall function of the respiratory system is to bring air into the body, put oxygen in the blood, remove carbon dioxide and wastes from the blood, and release air from the body. The nose and mouth bring air into the body.
