The respiratory system functions almost elusively to add oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide. Incidental to this it also can be a way to remove some volatile chemicals from the blood.

When you exhale, your body releases carbon dioxide and water vapor from the lungs (and the body). Since breathing doesn't use up all of what is inhaled, much of what is inhaled is also exhaled. Therefore we also exhale plain air including oxygen. That is the reason mouth-to-mouth resuscitation works.

If you mean foreign material or mucus - cilia, and the cough reflex. If you mean metabolic waste - the blood.

What leaves the body with each exhale breath?

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) leaves the body with each exhale breath.


When you exhale is oxygen removed from the body?

Yes. Some oxygen leaves your body when you exhale. The process of respiration is a long one, and it works in conjunction with several other processes in order to supply your cells with the adequate energy to live. Inhalation brings in O2. That is a breathable air compound made up of 2 molecules of oxygen. When you exhale, you release CO2. That is carbon dioxide, which, in excess, would be a poison if it remained in our body. The dioxide, however, denotes that this molecule is not only one carbon, but also 2 oxygen atoms. So technically speaking oxygen IS removed from the body during exhalation.


How is co2 removed from the body?

We find that carbon dioxide is removed from the body via what is called gas exchange in the lungs. When we inhale, air is drawn into the lungs, and the alveoli in the lungs are the sites where gas exchange takes place. Carbon dioxide exits the blood, and oxygen enters. When we exhale, the carbon dioxide is carried out of the body, and the process is repeated with another breath.
