The Human Respiratory System is a network of organs and tissues that allow us to breathe air in and out of our bodies.

Major organs involved in the respiratory system are the lungs, windpipe (trachea), nostrils, diaphragm, rib cage, and the muscles of respiration.

The lungs are responsible for the intake and release of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The windpipe (trachea) is a tube that connects the lungs to the outside air.

The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that helps to pump air in and out of the lungs.

The rib cage is a group of bones that protect the lungs and other organs in the chest.

Interesting fact: The average person takes about 20,000 breaths a day!
