How your respiratory system works…

The diaphragm contracts when you breathe in, you bring oxygen to your chest, pulling air in through your nose, and mouth and lungs. When you breathe out, you exhale and CO2 is pushed out by the same organs. The oxygen you breathe in is circulated through the body by the circulatory system to supply all parts of the body.
