How does the respiratory system work?

We breathe to stay alive and to live but if we don't beathe we will die. We breathe in Oxygen which is an invisible gas that you can't see. As you are breathing you lungs will let out the bad air (carbon Dioxide) which trees take in. When air comes into your body it goes down the oesophagus into the lungs when the diaphragm** **with expand when you are breatheing in air and when you are getting all the carbon dioxide out it will deflate a bit. Your lungs are the main part to you respiratory system because they are the things that take in all the air. They are protected by the rib cage so if if you fall on your front it wouldn't hurt as much. When you get winded it means you have fell on your lungs and all the air has came out of them making you not breathe. Keep the lungs heathly by not smoking going near posions gasses and poulted air. If you do those things you will be likely to have have bad lungs and not breathe as well as you did or could of.** || **Identify Purpose/Audience** Purpose is to explain how the respiratory system works Audience, people wanting to find out information about the respiratory system e.g an asthmatic or student doing research
