► THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

We use our respiratory system to breathe in air. Our body needs oxygen from

at
the air in order to survive.

 When we breathe in, air enters our body through our nose and mouth.

or
 The air goes down the trachea.

M
 Next, it goes through two small tubes called the bronchi, and enters our

lungs.

 In our lungs, oxygen passes from the air into our blood.
és
 Finally, carbon dioxide from our body returns to the lungs. When we

breathe out, it leaves our body.
