The main function of the respiratory system is

• control body activities through hormones released into the blood

• produce sperm and eggs

• transport oxygen, nutrients, and wastes to and from body cells and tissues

• supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide

• break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal

• digestive system

• integumentary system

• endocrine system

• skeletal system

• nervous system
