	Introduction to Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
		The human respiratory tract is exposed to many potential pathogens via the smoke, soot, and dust that is inhaled from the air.
		Particles or respiratory pathogens which reach the lower respiratory tract are first trapped in the mucus layer and are driven upwards by ciliary action (the ciliary elevator) to the back of the throat.
		If the invader has avoided the physical defense mechanisms of the upper respiratory tract, and is deposited in the lower respiratory tract or lung, it must either avoid phagocytosis, or be able to survive and multiply in the phagocytic cell.
