	Respiratory System - MSN Encarta
		The organs of the respiratory system extend from the nose to the lungs and are divided into the upper and lower respiratory tracts.
		The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose and the pharynx, or throat.
		The lower respiratory tract includes the larynx, or voice box; the trachea, or windpipe, which splits into two main branches called bronchi; tiny branches of the bronchi called bronchioles; and the lungs, a pair of saclike, spongy organs.

	Respiratory system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within the alveolar system of the lungs, molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous environment and the blood.
		At birth, the respiratory system is drained of fluid and cleaned to assure proper functioning of the system.
		The respiratory tract is constantly exposed to microbes due to the extensive surface area, which is why the respiratory system includes many mechanisms to defend itself and prevent pathogens from entering the body.

	RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
		The role of the respiratory passages is not only to conduct the inhaled air to the terminal respiratory units for gaseous exchange with the blood, but also to provide the adequate medium for alterations in the physical composition of the air, minimizing the environmental insult to the terminal units of the lung.
		Syphilis is a systemic infection caused by the Treponema pallidum

	Introductory Anatomy: Respiratory System
		(Description of respiratory tract from nose to trachea here from overheads) (There is a brief complication where the airstream crosses the path taken by food and drink in the pharynx: air flows on down the trachea where food normally passes down the oesophagus to the stomach.
		The respiratory tract, from nasal cavities to the smallest bronchi, is lined by a layer of sticky mucus, secreted by the epithelium assisted by small ducted glands.
		The length of the respiratory tract helps in both bringing the air to the right temperature and humidity but hinders the actual ventilation, as a long tract has a greater volume of air trapped within it, and demands a large breath to clear out residual air.

	Bird Respiratory System
		The avian respiratory system is different from that of other vertebrates, with birds having relatively small lungs plus nine air sacs that play an important role in respiration (but are not directly involved in the exchange of gases).
		Diagram of parabronchial anatomy, gas-exchange region of the bird's lung-air-sac respiratory system.
		During the prenatal stage respiratory gas exchange occurs via diffusion between the external environment and the initial gas exchanger (i.e., the area vasculosa, or the region of blood island formation and forerunner of the chorioallantoic membrane) in early embryonic life and later the vascular bed of the chorioallantois.

	Lungs and Respiratory System
		The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body, while also enabling the body to get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out.
		Even if the air you breathe is dirty or polluted, your respiratory system filters out foreign matter and organisms that enter through the nose and mouth.
		Although some respiratory diseases like asthma or cystic fibrosis can't be prevented, you can prevent many chronic lung and respiratory illnesses by avoiding smoking, staying away from pollutants and irritants, washing your hands often to avoid infection, and getting regular medical checkups.
