Generally we say that we inhale only oxygen and exhale only CO2. But actually it is not like that.

We hale air which has every gas in it.

But the greater % we take in is O2 and greater % we leave out is Co2.Other gases are insignificant in the process of respiration.at first air enter into the lungs specifically to say in the alvioli . then through the alveolar wall O2 enters into the blood by diffusion and similarly CO2 enters into the lungs from blood . thus this system works .

What does the respiratory system do?

The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood. The respiratory system also helps to regulate the acid-base level in the blood. lastly, the respiratory system allows us to vocalize by the movement of exhaled air through the larynx. brings oxygen into the body
