The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.
When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.
Respiratory system
The respiratory system utilises oxygen from the environmrntal gases and expires carbon dioxide (CO2).
The gases that are exchanged are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system does "take away" carbon dioxide by replacing it with oxygen, through breathing. Exhaling causes the body to expel carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen.
The respiratory system moves oxygen in and carbon dioxide (CO2) out.
The respiratory system is responsible for the transport of oxygen to body tissues and the removal of carbon dioxide. This process occurs through the lungs, where oxygen is taken in during inhalation and carbon dioxide is expelled during exhalation. The circulatory system then distributes oxygenated blood throughout the body and collects carbon dioxide to be exhaled.

Carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system, specifically the lungs, is responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of breathing. The cardiovascular system helps to transport these gases to and from the lungs to the body's cells.
The Respiratory system carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
bringing oxygen in and carbon dioxide out.
