What is the term for the set of organs that allows a person to breathe and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body?

Responsibility
Resuscitation
Respiration
Resident's chart

The correct answer is: Respiration

The correct answer is "Respiration." Respiration refers to the set of organs that allow a person to breathe and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. In this context, it encompasses the functions of the lungs, diaphragm, trachea, and other related organs involved in the breathing process. This term specifically relates to the physiological process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, which is essential for sustaining life. Options A, B, and D are incorrect in this context: - Responsibility does not directly relate to the set of organs involved in breathing and gas exchange in the body. - Resuscitation refers to the act of reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death, which is different from the term for the organs involved in respiration. - A resident's chart is a document containing important information about a patient's medical history and care plan, which is unrelated to the organs involved in respiration.
