What parts of the respiratory system would need to be blocked to not allow any air into this system?

Additionally, blockage of the bronchial tubes leading into the lungs would also prevent air from entering the respiratory system.

What factors determine plateau pressure?
Plateau pressure is determined by the compliance of the lungs and chest wall, as well as the volume of air in the lungs at end-inspiration. It is affected by factors such as lung disease, obesity, and the presence of chest wall abnormalities. Monitoring plateau pressure is important in managing mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients to prevent lung injury.
What is the function of the diahragm?
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs. Its main function is to help with breathing by contracting and expanding to create a vacuum that allows the lungs to fill up with air during inhalation and push air out during exhalation.
