You always here people say breathing is important, but they never really explain why. You might have that curiosity in you or might not care, but it's always good to learn something new. When you breathe in and out there is much more to it than you may think. The system in you body that helps you breath is you [|respiratory system]. ======

=
The primary function of the system is to breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. For the body to work properly it needs oxygen, but it also need to get rid of the carbon dioxide in it. When you breath in air takes a route through the pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchiole, alveoli all the way to the capillaries were it makes its way to the blood. Blood needs oxygen or else it wouldn't work. If you don't breathe that's when you die. The function of the respiratory system is essential in your daily basis. ======

This system of your body is very complex system. It's made up of a lot of organs. Mucus makes the air we breathe in moisturized and it traps any particles that are in it. The cilia sweeps mucus into the trachea. The trachea is basically your windpipe and a place were air goes through in its journey, it’s just like the pharynx. The bronchi are the two tubes that lead to each lung and the bronchioles. The organ that leads to the alveoli is the bronchiole. In each lung you have 30,000 bronchioles. The alveoli is the organ that moves gases between the lungs and blood. The capillaries go over the alveoli; they let go oxygen go into the blood and carbon dioxide out of it. The lungs are the main organs in the respiratory system and were most of the organs are. The diaphragm is the muscle that enables you to breath in and out. All the organs work together to make this system work properly. ======

The respiratory system isn’t in your whole body. The main parts are in the head, neck and chest. The organs in your head are the nose, mouth, mucus and cilia. The trachea and pharynx are on the neck. Most of the organs in the respiratory system are in the chest. You have the bronchi, bronchioles, cilia, alveoli, and diaphragm and have course the lungs. It may not be in the whole body, but it helps the whole body. ======

=
The respiratory system works well, but not without the help of the circulatory system. When air goes into the alveoli it passes through it into the capillaries where blood is flowing through. The point of breathing is to get oxygen into the blood. Carbon dioxide comes out the blood and that’s why we breathe it out. Blood with oxygen is good, but blood with carbon dioxide isn’t. That’s how the respiratory system works with the circulatory system. ======

=
The respiratory system is a strong system, but it has diseases that can damage. Asthma is a disease that when you get an asthma attack causes the bronchioles to swell and the muscles to squeeze making it hard to breath. When you get pneumonia your lungs fill with liquids. Bronchitis is an infection that makes your bronchi narrower, making breathing harder. Emphysema destroys your alveoli and also your lung tissues. Lung cancer makes a tumor in your lungs. All the diseases are dangerous, but you can keep your respiratory sys ======

=
You can keep your respiratory system healthy doing various things. The best thing you can do to stay healthy is not to [|smoke]. When you smoke you are damaging the cilia in the trachea, damaging your lungs cells and also it may cause the walls of your alveoli to break down. You’re preventing bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer. The second way is to exercise. You’re making your lungs stronger and better at supplying air for your body. These two ways are great so that you can have a healthy respiratory system. ======

I hope you learned about the respiratory system in this article. The respiratory system keeps you alive, but it isn't the only one that does it. All the systems work together to keep you going day by day. Our bodies are a machine with a lot of pieces helping each other out. ======
