The key organs of the respiratory system are the lungs. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves downwards, pushing air out of the lungs. If the epiglottis does not close the entrance to the airways, food particles can block the trachea and make breathing difficult. The important activity that occurs in the lungs is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide.
