The breathing (or respiratory) system has various adaptation to prevent microbes, which might cause an infection, from entering the lung.

In the nose, hairs filter out dust, and microbes are trapped in a sticky fluid called mucus (boogie) We usually swallow the mucus or get rid of it by sneezing. The mucus also contains a chemical that kills microbes.

BTW: I don't know what i just said there or if the answer fit into the questions???

Sorry, and you can improve or delete my enquiry and let me know! =D

What stops microorganisms from entering the body?

In the human body, the primary line of defence is the skin. The skin stops most of the microbes from entering the interiors of the body. If however, the pathogen is able to gain access into the body, the lymphatic system comes into play. The pathogen is eliminated before it begins to cause any more trouble.


What gases stops breathing?

An absence of oxygen is the primary gas that stops breathing. Excessive levels of carbon dioxide can also hinder the body's ability to breathe properly by disrupting the body's acid-base balance. Other gases, like certain toxins or pollutants, can also interfere with the respiratory system and impede breathing.


Is the nasal cavity continuous?

Yes, the nasal cavity is continuous and extends from the nostrils to the back of the throat, where it connects to the throat and the rest of the respiratory system. The nasal cavity is lined with mucous membranes that help to warm, moisten, and filter the air we breathe.


How does the rib cage protect the Respiratory System?

Your respiratory system is the system that brings oxygen onto your body and is mainly associated with the lungs and the windpipe bringing the air down from your mouth. Teh ribs are the bones of your chest that curve round your lungs. They form a cage around the lungs which stops the lungs being crushed. If your lung is pressed flat it cannot take in air. It needs to be inflated like a balloon. Without your ribs every time you came into contact with something it would push the air out of your lungs and wind you.

What does it mean that mucus is a front line defense against infections?

Mucus is a defense against infection as it hepls to catch foreign substances in the airways and other places. (I'm going to use the respiratory system becasue I know the most about it) Mucus is secreted by goblet cells in the lining of the aesophagus, where is is pushed up and out by little cilliated epithelium cells. The mucous acts as an impermeable, sticky barrier - imagine it to be like honey. The mucus helps to catch substances that you have breathed in, such as dust, pathogens, and pollen. The mucus stops this from entering the lungs, and particularly for the pathogens, it stops them from entering the bloodstream. The cillia cells then move the mucous up and out of the aesophagus and into the stomach, where they are killed by your stomach acids. Of course, another way to get rid of it is to cough...
