No, the nose and throat are the upper respiratory system; they are above the lungs (when you are standing up).

Which organs make up the upper respiratory system?

The upper respiratory system consists of the nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). These organs primarily function to filter, humidify, and warm the air that is breathed in before it reaches the lower respiratory system.


Can strep throat lead to bronchitis and amp pneumonia?

Yes, strep throat can potentially lead to bronchitis and pneumonia, although it's not very common. If the streptococcal infection spreads from the throat to the lower respiratory tract, it may cause bronchitis or pneumonia. Additionally, a weakened immune system from fighting the strep infection could make an individual more susceptible to other respiratory infections. It's important to seek appropriate treatment to prevent complications.


What parts are in the lower respiratory tract?

The main parts of the lower respiratory tract are the trachea, two bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs. The upper and lower respiratory tracts come together to make up the entire respiratory system.


What system is the trachea bronchi and alveoli part of?

This system is called the respiratory system. It exchanges oxygen that the cells need to make energy for carbon dioxide which is a waste product that the cells make.


Organs of the respiratory?

There are several organs that make up the respiratory system. Some of these include the nose, throat, lungs, alveoli, bronchi and the larynx.

What is the component of respiratory system?

Some of the components of the respiratory system are the major structures like the throat, windpipe, and lungs. The other parts are smaller things like the alveoli, which are tiny sacs in the lungs where over a million of them work to transfer oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of blood.


How does nasal membrane swelling impact breathing and overall respiratory health?

Nasal membrane swelling can make it harder to breathe through your nose, leading to increased mouth breathing. This can dry out the throat and increase the risk of respiratory infections. It can also disrupt the normal airflow in the respiratory system, making it harder for the body to filter and humidify the air you breathe in. Overall, nasal membrane swelling can negatively impact breathing and respiratory health by reducing the efficiency of the respiratory system.


Why do you cough when you get a sore throat?

Influenza viruses attack the respiratory system. As they force the cells in the respiratory system to stop their usual function and make new viruses instead, your body notices the strain of the loss of those cells' function. Additionally, when the virus has been reproduced to the point of bursting open the cell, that death of the cell also causes respiratory symptoms. When the tissue is inflamed from infection and cell death, your lungs and mucous tissue begin to produce excess amounts of fluids and mucus to try to wash the invader out of your body. This excess drainage can tickle your throat and drip into your trachea and make you cough. Your lungs will also react with more fluid production which results in coughing, again, as a mechanism of forcing the pathogen from your body and protecting you from destruction of more respiratory system cells.


What systems are affected by the common cold?

The hundreds of different viruses responsible for causing a common cold all make their attack on the human body in the upper respiratory tract. The virus particles attach to the cells of the mucous tissue in sinuses, nose, mouth, eyes, throat and trachea first. The bronchial tubes and lungs also can be affected. In addition to the respiratory system and eyes, the immune system is triggered to work to rid your body of the invader with an immune response, which will employ resources from the circulatory system and blood forming organs.
