Function:
Our body needs oxygen to survive and need to get rid of waste products among which carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The lungs inhale gases, making oxygen diffuse into the blood which is carried to the tissues for cellular respiration, and exhale excretory products harmful to the body or not used by the body. In two words,the lungs function is GAS EXCHANGE.
Structures:
The structure is of course the mouth, nasal cavity, pharynx(throat), larynx (voice box), trachea,and bronchus, bronchioles and alveoli in the lungs.

What hairlike structures are located in your respiratory system?

What is the anatomical significance of the lung hilum and its connection to the root structures within the respiratory system?
The lung hilum is an important structure located on the medial surface of the lung where blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi enter and exit. It serves as a connection point for these structures to enter and exit the lung. The root structures within the respiratory system, including the bronchi and blood vessels, are anchored at the lung hilum, allowing for proper functioning of the respiratory system.
Definition of breathing system?
The respiratory system is the system of the body that controls all breathing functions. Another word for it is the ventilatory system. It controls the oxygen intake and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body its environmental elements.
What is the purpose of the respiratory system and how does it support the body's functions?
The purpose of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide. It supports the body's functions by supplying oxygen to cells for energy production and removing waste carbon dioxide to maintain a healthy balance in the blood.
