Understanding the Respiratory System

This video tutorial provides an overview of the human body's respiratory system, explaining how it facilitates breathing by obtaining oxygen through the nose or mouth, which then travels to the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is then expelled from the body. The video also highlights the role of red blood cells in transporting oxygen throughout the body.
