the main process of the respiratory system is breathing, gaseous exchange and respiration.
breathing include:
-inhalation occurs when air is taken into the mouth and nose.
-exhalation occurs when air is breathed out of the mouth and nose
gaseous exchange: oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood and carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the lungs
respiration:
oxygen is used to turn food into energy, water and carbon dioxide. once energy is released, water are carbond dioxide turns into waste pruducts
