    The respiratory system consists of the nose, larynx, and lungs. The nose has hairs in the vestibule that filter air and an olfactory portion above that detects smells. The larynx contains paired and unpaired cartilages that support the vocal cords. The lungs are made of bronchioles and alveoli where gas exchange occurs through diffusion. The respiratory system takes in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide to oxygenate tissues and remove waste in a vital process for sustaining life.
