hengitysjärjestelmässä
Hengitysjärjestelmä, also known as the respiratory system, is a complex network of organs and structures that facilitate the exchange of gases between an organism and its environment.

The primary function of this system is to supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular metabolism.
