Once the air is at the lungs, the geart passes blood to the lungs which carries the oxygen throughout the body and gives the oxygen to the body parts that need it.
The lungs then take the CO2 left from the breath you took and exhale it. When you exhale, all the CO2 leaves the body and this process happens over and over again.

After this process, the Nervous System tells the brain that the lungs need to exhale the CO2 because it is poisonous to the body.
Several diseases can destroy or deteriorate the lungs. Some are chronic bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer.
Emphysema is when a person has damaged the alveoli and bronchi. Emphysema weakens the air sacs. Then the air sacs are unable to move oxygen from the air to the blood. Eventually the person may feel breathless. Emphysema is caused from being exposed...
