    The respiratory system has two primary functions: (1) providing oxygen to the blood and (2) removing carbon dioxide from the body. It is composed of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and capillaries. The lungs contain alveoli, which are tiny air sacs that oxygenate blood and remove carbon dioxide. To maintain a healthy respiratory system, one should avoid smoking, secondhand smoke, and pollution, exercise regularly, eat a nutritious diet, and see a doctor annually for checkups.

    Bronchi: Two tubes inside of the lungs. Bronchioles: Divisions of the bronchi. Alveoli: Tiny air sacs that do the oxidation and the exhale of carbon dioxide. Capillaries: Blood vessels from the walls of the alveoli.
