 Respiratory system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In humans and other mammals, the respiratory system consists of the airways, the lungs, and the respiratory muscles that mediate the movement of air into and out of the body.
The respiratory system can be conveniently subdivided into a conducting zone and a respiratory zone.
Ventilation of the lungs is carried out by the muscles of respiration.
