The respiratory system facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the external environment. It includes the airways (nasal passages, trachea, bronchi) and the lungs, where gas exchange occurs. Through inhalation and exhalation, oxygen is taken in, and carbon dioxide, a waste product, is eliminated.
