Explain Organs of the Respiratory System

The respiratory system consists of various organs. They form a clear pathway for the air to enter and leave the lungs. The body needs a constant supply of oxygen from air and wants to dispose off carbon dioxide, produced as a waste product of cell metabolism. The blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body cells and returns carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs for excretion.

A number of organs are involved in the most crucial process of respiration. Can you name them? Well, the organs of the respiratory system are:

• The nose and the nasal cavity
• The pharynx
• The larynx
• The trachea
• Two bronchi
• The bronchioles and small air passages, and
• Two lungs and the pleura
