Do you mean respiratory?...
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
Is the system which includes bodily organs chiefly involved in gaseous exchange between the body and the external environment.
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.
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.
