 * **Explanation**
 * ** The Respiratory System

** We breath to give energy to the muscles. Without oxygen (o2) The body will begin to stop working and eventually suffocate. We breath in oxygen (o2) into our lungs. The air then goes into the alveoli blood where it pushes the o2 into the veins and down into the pulmonary system where o2 is exchanged into co2. The co2 then travels back up to your mouth where you breath out the co2 and breath in fresh o2. || **Identify Purpose/Audience** ÷÷÷÷ Purpose is to explain how the respiratory system works Audience, people wanting to find out information about the respiratory system e.g an asthmatic or student doing research
