The function of the respiratory system is to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide as we breathe

The organs of the system are the: nose,pharynx,trachea,
bronci,lungs.

The nose: lets air enter the body.
Pharynx: the throat
Trachea: air goes through your throat into your digestive system.
The bronchi: the passages that direct air into your lungs.
Lungs: an organ found in air-breathing vertebrates that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with the blood.

My two illnesses are: pneumonia & asthma

Asthma:Asthma can cause a person's airways to get swollen and irritated, making it hard to breathe.

Pneumonia: Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, usually caused by viruses or bacteria.

Fun Facts:
the average time an adult can hold his or her breath is between 30-60 seconds.

Each of your lungs contains about 300 million balloon-like structures called alveoli, which replace the carbon-dioxide waste in your blood with oxygen. When these structures are filled with air, the lungs become the only organs in the human body that can float on water.

The velocity of a sneeze is at 112 mph
