"Respiratory" means breathing. The Respiratory System is one of the systems of the body; others include the integumentary system, the reproductive system, the nervous system, etc. The respiratory system is that system whereby oxygen is taken into the lungs through inhalation, passed through into the blood, circulated throughout the body down to the capillaries, followed by the transport of CO2 via the blood back to the lungs and out of the body through exhalation.
Basically, it involves breathing and your lungs

A respiratory system's function is to allow gas exchange. The space between the alveoli and the capillaries, the anatomy or structure of the exchange system, and the precise physiological uses of the exchanged gases vary depending on the organism

The respiratory system functions by taking in oxygen to the body and giving out carbon dioxide to the external environment. This gas exchange happens in the alveolar region of the lungs. When the blood is oxygenated the blood then delivers the oxygen to other parts of the body.

What are the benefits of the resiratory system?
Benefits of the respiratory system are: It helps the body to regulate temperature by expelling heat. The respiratory system brings air into the lungs and ultimately to each cell in the body. The respiratory system also removes carbon dioxide from the body.
