Your respiratory system is made of your nose and mouth, a tube called the pharynx, another tube called the trachea, and your lungs. You have two lungs and the exchange of gases between the circulatory and respiratory systems happens in the lungs. Animals need oxygen (O) to survive. It's purpose is to bring oxygen into your body.
