Respiratory

Respiratory refers to the processes involved in breathing and gas exchange in the body. It includes inhaling oxygen through the lungs, where it passes into the blood, and exhaling carbon dioxide, a waste product, out of the body. This system supplies oxygen needed for energy production in cells and helps remove carbon dioxide to maintain a healthy balance. Proper respiratory function is vital for overall health, supporting activities like speaking, physical activity, and brain function. Disruptions or illnesses affecting the respiratory system can lead to breathing difficulties or other health issues.
