The respiratory system is responsible for providing oxygen to all the different parts of the body. This is made of a few parts:

Alveolar Epithelial Cells form tiny air sacks called alveoli, which transfer oxygen from air to the bloodstream.

Goblet Cells generate a small coating of mucus in the lungs, and this sticky paste catches debris that could damage the lungs.
