How does the respiratory system contribute to a healthy body?

Answer 1

(Biology Homework Ftw!)

The Respiratory is a key component of your body, being entirely necessary for humans, mammals, and vast majority of all life to survive on the earth. It is found in nearly all known living species of animals and plants.

It is required in humans so that Oxygen, from the air around us (20% of air is O2) can be taken to muscles within the body, and combusted with glucose (C6H1206) to give Energy, and CO2, which is then breathed out. At first, you may think that just muscles aren't that necessary. But muscles make up almost all your major organs, most importantly, your Heart.

The Hear beats via it's muscles to pump blood around the body. This in turn, is how Oxygen and CO2 are passed from the lungs to the muscles, and fromt he muscles to the lungs respectively.

Without this cycle, the body's muscles would not get the 02 they require to survive. This would lead to cell death on a massive scale, giving many symptons, the last and most famous of which is Death.

Answer 2

It provides the oxygen needed by the cells in all the tissues of your body . It primarily provides oxygen to your blood system which carries it all around your body

resipiratory system controls basically your inhalation and exhalation it consists of the diaphragm lungs and more the respiratory centre is in your brain while respiratory system is your breathing system

Answer 3

breathing
