Describe how the respiratory system exchanges carbon dioxide and
oxygen in the lungs. Use the words carbon dioxide, lungs, trachea, and
bronchi in your answer. |

Definition
| Oxygen enters the mouth and nose, travels down the trachea, moves into one of two bronchi that delivers it to each lung. The red blood cells drop off the oxygen and pick up the carbon dioxide that needs to leave the body. The carbon dioxide travels back out through the bronchi, trachea, and finally, through the nose and mouth. |
