∙ 9y agoThe respiratory system is a structure of organs used for the process of respiration and the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. The parts of the respiratory system are the upper respiratory tract, lower respiratory tract, airways, lungs and diaphragm.

∙ 12y agoLungs
The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is breathed out. The red blood cells are responsible for picking up the oxygen in the lungs and carrying the oxygen to all the body cells that need it. The red blood cells drop off the oxygen to the body cells, then pick up the carbon dioxide which is a waste gas product produced by our cells. The red blood cells transport the carbon dioxide back to the lungs and we breathe it out when we exhale.
Trachea
The trachea is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into the bronchi.
Bronchi
The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs.
Diaphragm
Breathing starts with a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs called the diaphragm. When you breathe in, the diaphragm contracts. When it contracts it flattens out and pulls downward. This movement enlarges the space that the lungs are in. This larger space pulls air into the lungs. When you breathe out, the diaphragm expands reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forcing air out. The diaphragm is the main muscle used in breathing.

help you breath
Is the brain the main part of your respiratory system?
No but it controls it. The brain is the main part of the nervous system. The lungs are the main parts of the respiratory system.
What is the system that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air?
This is mostly the respiratory system though it does include parts of the cardiovascular system.The respiratory system; more specifically, it happens in the alveoli of the lungs.
What systems interact with the respiratory ststem?
The respiratory system interacts most directly with the circulatory system in terms of function. Structurally, it shares some body parts with the digestive system.
