Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Respiratory system is an essential biological system, which provides the body with oxygen that is necessary to carry out vital functions in the body. This system is segregated into upper and lower respiratory system. Lungs are considered to be the prime organ, which helps the organism to breathe and also provides the site for the exchange of the gases. Any abnormalities in this may lead to fatal and life-threatening conditions.
