Lungs and Respiratory System
The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation).
This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.
Top 5 Functions of the Respiratory System: A Look Inside Key Respiratory Activities
Through breathing, inhalation and exhalation, the respiratory system facilitates the exchange of gases between the air and the blood and between the blood and the body’s cells. The respiratory system also helps us to smell and create sound.

The diaphragm contracts and relaxes, forcing air in and out of the lungs.
