Respiratory System 

– (Nasal Cavity, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchus,

Lung)

This system maintains our breathing. It supplies the body with oxygen for
cellular respiration by collecting oxygen in the lungs and disposes of carbon
dioxide by breathing out the waste product. It also provides our functions of
speech and smell. Diseases and disorders of the respiratory system include
allergies; rhinitis and sinusitis; laryngitis; COPD; pleurisy; bronchitis;
emphysema; asthma; sarcoidosis; fibrosis; asbestosis; pulmonary vascular
diseases; fungal or bacterial infections of the lungs; sleep apnea; tuberculosis
of the respiratory system; and lung, throat, and other respiratory cancers.
