"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
