The respiratory system consists of the upper respiratory tract (the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi) and the lower respiratory tract (the lungs). As you learn about the various diseases that affect the respiratory system, it is important for you to understand the structures that can be affected by disease. Complete this lab to become familiar with a healthy system and to identify diseases related to both the upper and lower respiratory tracts.

1. How do body reflexes like coughing and sneezing help prevent or fight infection?
2. What role do cilia play in maintaining a healthy respiratory system?
3. Compare normal microflora of the upper respiratory tract with normal microflora of the lower respiratory tract.
PART two: basic structures
Visit Chapter 21 of Microbiology: Principles and Explorations in WileyPlusto view an in-depth presentation of a healthy respiratory system by completing the following steps:
· Select the Chapter 21 WileyPlus reading link located on your student Web page.
