The respiratory system supplies blood with oxygen through a multi-step process. Air is inhaled through the mouth and larynx into the trachea, which divides into bronchial tubes that enter the lungs. In the lungs, air fills alveoli where oxygen diffuses into blood and carbon dioxide is removed, after which exhalation occurs through the same pathways. The system includes the larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli, bronchioles, and diaphragm all working together to oxygenate the blood and remove waste through breathing.
