RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. The respiratory system does two very important things: it brings oxygen into our bodies‚ which we need for our cells to live and function properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide‚ which is a waste product of cellular function. The nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which
