    The respiratory system, which consists of air passageways, pulmonary veins, the lungs, and breathing muscles, assists the body in exchanging gases between the air and the blood, as well as between the blood and the billions of cells that comprise the body. While the majority of the respiratory system’s organs contribute to air distribution, only the small, grape-like alveoli and alveolar ducts do true gas exchange.

    The respiratory system distributes air and exchanges gases, but it also filters, heats, and humidifies the air you breathe. The respiratory system’s organs also contribute to speech and the sense of smell.

    Additionally, the respiratory system assists the body in maintaining homeostasis, or balance, among the numerous components of the internal environment.
