Respiration isn't
simply breathing. The term also describes all the processes
associated with the release of energy in the body. The respiratory
tract is especially vulnerable to particles floating in the air.
Coughing and sneezing is a way for the body to keep the passageways of the
lungs clear of foreign matter. Cilia, the hairs in the nose, trap
irritants, contaminants, bacteria, viruses, fungi, vehicle exhaust, and
other materials. Particles that get past this first line of defense
irritate the tissues, causing them to swell and produce extra mucus.
Swelling and mucus eventually obstruct the passages. If particles
are trapped further down in the tract, bronchitis and asthma may result.
