RESPIRSTORY SYSTEM
Keywords:
respiratory system, lungs, diseases, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, alveoli, tuberculosisAbstract
The repiratory system is the system that supplies the body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. It includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs:oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide is released outside. This system is very important for the vital activity of the organism
