To the Learner
We need air to live. The air for life is called oxygen. We could not
live without oxygen. In contrast, we do not need carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a waste produced in our body. It is harmful; hence,
it must be given off.
How does oxygen get into our body? Likewise; how does carbon
dioxide get out from our body? Which body system is responsible for
taking in oxygen and giving out carbon dioxide?
When you finish this module, you will be able to identify the
respiratory system and its major parts.
