Did you know?
Did you know that the respiratory system is the body system that provides you with the most protection from colds and flu? This system consists of the nose, mouth, throat, and lungs, and its main function is to bring oxygen into the body and remove waste gases like carbon dioxide. It also plays a crucial role in defending against pathogens, such as viruses that cause colds and flu. The respiratory system has specialized cells and mechanisms that help filter out airborne particles, trap harmful germs, and produce mucus to trap and remove pathogens, reducing the chances of getting infected. So, next time you feel a sneeze coming, remember to thank your respiratory system for its tireless efforts in keeping you protected!
