The purpose of the Respiratory system is breathing. If we couldn't breathe we would not live. The responsibility of this system is getting air from the Atmosphere to lungs. The air is conditioned and clean when it gets to the lungs. It transfers the oxygen the cells and also the cells remove CO2 so it can be exhaled. This process is called Respiration.
The organs in the Respiratory system are the lungs, Trachea, Bronchi and Diaphragm. The oxygen starts in the nose, it goes through the Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi and it also covers lots of the Alveoli. The lungs are the main part of the system. You’re Trachea is formed of many different structure and it conditions the air in to a warm, moist and clean air. The Pharynx is a 5-6 inch tube. It’s shared by our respiratory and digestive system, which is how we can breathe through our mouth.
One of the popular diseases that could happen to the lungs is lung cancer. The most common way to get a Tumor in your lungs is by smoking. One of the biggest effects of smoking is lung cancer/damage. If you have been smoking for a long time your lungs will start to lose their freshness and get seriously damaged. Smoking is very bad for your Respiratory system and it could eventually lead to death.
Asthma is very common among children, teens, and adults. The cause of this disease is when your lungs do not get enough air. Asthma tightens the airway to your lungs and that’s why you would have trouble breathing. If you have asthma you are most likely to experience, coughing, wheezing, chest pain, and lake of oxygen. Asthma attacks are called triggers. Triggers are everywhere any home can be full of dogs, cats, secondhand smoke, mold and dust mites. Asthma cannot be cured.
