=What does the Respiratory System do?=

The respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside environment into the body. It also removes carbon dioxide and water from the body. The oxygen your body needs comes from the atmosphere. Oxygen is needed for the energy releasing chemical reactions that take place inside your cells. Respiration is the process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells.
