The respiratory system is one of the most complex and vital for humans, so the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system requires a responsible and attentive approach. The respiratory organs perform several functions at once:
- provide respiration and gas exchange;
- participate in thermoregulation;
- support voice formation;
- provide a sense of smell;
- they participate in the synthesis of hormones;
- protect the body from environmental factors.
The organs of the respiratory system make the air (oxygen) the most suitable for breathing: they are cleaned of harmful impurities and particles, warmed to a comfortable temperature and transported to all organs and tissues.
Diseases of the respiratory system are quite common and represent a massive social and medical problem. Diseases of the respiratory system are called respiratory and, according to various sources, more than 1 billion people of the globe suffer from them.
