The Respiratory System is in charge of delivering oxygen throughout the body with inhalation and exhaling carbon dioxide. This happens in a process called breathing. The air comes through the nose, into the sinuses, to go through the pharynx and trachea to reach the bronchial tubes, once the air has reached the lungs, the bloodstream delivers oxygen to all the organs and tissues of the body.
Bronchitis is a respiratory disease caused by the inflammation of the mucous membrane in the bronchial tubes
Pneumonia results from a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection that provokes air sacs (alveoli) inflammation in one or both lungs.
