what is the main organ of the respiratory system
The trachea is shaped like a pipe. When a person breathes in, the trachea filters the air down into the bronchi, two air tubes that then carry air directly to the lungs. The main organs of the respiratory system are the lungs. They take oxygen into the body and breathe out carbon dioxide. Oxygen is retrieved from the lungs by red blood cells that then carry the oxygen throughout the body to the cells that need it.
