What happens between the microorganisms and the Respiratory System
Infectious Diseases Affecting the Respiratory System
The access
The Respiratory Tract, Its Defenses, and Normal Biota
Breathing access of the overall body
Respiratory System
Two Sections of the Respiratory Tracts
Upper Respiratory Tract
Lower Respiratory Tract
Mouth
Nose
Nasal Cavity
Sinuses
Throat
Epiglottis
Larynx
Upper Respiratory Tract
Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Lungs
Lower Respiratory Tract
Inflates and deflates
Inhales and exhales
Alveoli
Traps particles
Nasal Hair
Propels particles
Cilia
Coughing
Sneezing
Swallowing
First-Line Defenses
Nasal Hairs
