The respiratory system continuously secrete fluid, and use cilia on the epithelium to sweep the mucous and debris towards the pharynx. However, if there is too much secretion or if the secretions are trapped in the lungs, this becomes a medium for bacteria hence resulting in pneumonia.
There are 3 basic types of pneumonia: Bacterial, when a bacteria enters the airway and grows in the lungs. Viral, when a virus does the same things Aspiration, when you inhale something that you should have swallowed.
Pneumonia is a disease that inflames the lungs and causes fluid. One of the causes of this is called viral pneumonia this is when there is an infection in the lungs caused by the virus or bacteria. Another cause of pneumonia is aspiration pneumonia, which is caused by someone inhaling something such as the toxic smoke of a fire or water. Both Viral and aspiration pneumonia is contagious and is spread by coughs, sneezing, sharing the same drinking glass etc.
