The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood.
To put it simply, the principle functions of the respiratory system are:
Ventilate the lungs
Extract oxygen from the air and transfer it to the bloodstream
Excrete carbon dioxide and water vapour
Maintain the acid base of the blood
