Human Respiratory System Concepts

The video explores the respiratory system, explaining how we breathe using our nose, mouth, lungs, and diaphragm. It details the air's journey through the windpipe, bronchi, and bronchioles, leading to gas exchange in the alveoli. The process of oxygen entering the blood and carbon dioxide being expelled is highlighted as essential for life. The video concludes with interesting facts about breathing.
