3. ANATOMY Nasal Cavity: functions as a filter to protect lower airways
Pharynx (throat): muscular tunnel that connects to esophagus
Larynx (voice box): short section of airway connects to trachea
Trachea (wind pipe): 5 in long tube that connects to the bronchi and allows air to pass through

4. ANATOMY
Bronchial tubes: lets air in and out of lungs allowing you to breathe
Pleura: membrane around lungs
Bronchiole: passages that begin at the end of bronchi
Alveoli: tiny air filled sacks within lungs that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between lungs and bloodstream
Diaphragm: muscle that separated chest cavity from abdomen

5. HEALTH CONCERNS Bronchitis: inflammation of bronchi
Upper respiratory infection: common cold
Tuberculosis: highly infectious bacterial infection
Asthma: bronchial airway obstruction
COPD: Chronic obstruction of bronchial tubes

6. HEALTH CONCERNS
Hemoptysis: chronic lung disease, coughing up blood from lung/bronchial tube
Epistaxis: nose bleed
Anthracosis: Black lung
Emphysema: carbon dioxide build up; damaged alveoli
Lung cancer: cancer in lung; exposure to carcinogens
Pneumonia: inflammation/ infection of lung
