There are many diseases which can affect the respiratory system However, the main respiratory diseases come under the term COPD which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This includes Bronchitis (inflammation and obstruction of the airways) and Emphysema (damage to the alveoli in the lungs) Asthma is sometimes included in this category although technically it is different because an asthma attack is reversible (with drugs) whereas Bronchitis and Emphysema are not.
