Respiratory System
The respiratory system is the primary function that pumps blood to get oxygen all through your body. This happens when you breathe. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This process is what makes us live.
The nose and mouth play a big role in this; they are what deliver the oxygen. After inhaled it passes through the larynx that’s where your vocal cords are. Then it goes through the chest cavity soon it goes to the lungs. The lungs are divided into many smaller tubes that are connected sacs called alveoli. These are surrounded by capillaries. The capillaries soon turn the oxygen into blood

Diaphragm
Your Diaphragm is located below your lungs. It is dome shaped and it helps your lungs breath in and out. With out this it would be hard for your lungs to breath
