Product Description
What is an alveolus?Why does blood look red?
How can we keep our lungs healthy?
To make energy, our bodies need two substances - food and oxygen. Oxygen is a gas in the air and the body need oxygen to release energy from the food we eat. The body takes oxygen into the lungs by breathing. We breathe all the time, day and night, to take in a constant supply of oxygen. Taking air in and out of the body and using it to release energy from our food is called respiration.
