Default What is the function of the respiratory system? - 12-15-2008, 12:15 PM

I know this is silly but Im scared to look it up because sites almost always have graphic pictures, or worse, an autopsy of a dead respiratory system *shudder* that sometimes scary. Is there a way to block viewing pictures temporarily?

The respiratory system's purpose is to supply oxygen (O2) to the bloodstream and to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the bloodstream.Don't try searching for the purpose of the excretory system ;D

hmm i dotn knwo for sure but they wouldnt necessarily have dead organs or would it be gross, the respiratory system is what provides oxygen to you body, primarily it consists of your mouth nose as the resceptacles, teh throat as the conduit and the lungs as the major functioing organ of the system, teh lungs process air thru to the blood hemoglobins which carry oxygen through your veins to your body tissues and other organs that allow them to function
