The respiratory system includes your airways, lungs, fluids, bones and muscles. Ever wondered how each of these parts work together to help you breathe?
👃 The airways
When you breathe in air through your nose or mouth, it passes through your windpipe. The windpipe is also called the trachea.
🫁 The lungs
Your lungs are made up of areas called lobes. Your left lung is smaller than your right because it shares the left side of the chest with your heart. Your right lung has three lobes, and your left lung has two.
⭕ The pleura
The pleura is a thin covering (membrane) that surrounds your lungs. It is in two layers, with a liquid called pleural fluid in between. Pleural fluid helps your lungs move freely when you breathe in and out.
🦴 Bones and muscles
Your lungs and heart are protected by your ribs, which are bones that form a cage in your chest.
In between your ribs, there are muscles called intercostal muscles. Below your ribs, there is a muscle called the diaphragm. These muscles help breathing.

Thanks to Karen Bon Berg for highlighting @NEEMOcf as one of the studies working to answer the question of how much inhaled therapy is needed alongside CFTR modulators. Find out more #NACFC2023 on Saturday in session W53 or at poster 613.
Delighted to have been included in this recent blog post from @ShelfordGrp. Thank you for the acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of our team across the #learninghealthsystem to optimise patient care, improve outcomes and increase equity of access in #cysticfibrosis
The Taskforce for Lung Health and @asthmalunguk have launched our "Saving Your Breath" report. The recommendations in this report could save the NHS £307m at year, and boost the economy by £277.9m a year
We believe that no one should have to suffer worse health because of where they live or how much money they have. Help us call on the Government to invest in earlier diagnosis, improved care and research: https://t.co/IfnH2BlLgb
Our new report #BreathingUnequal has revealed that nearly half of the lowest earners surveyed said they couldn’t afford to pay for prescriptions.
The cost of living is doing irreparable damage to people with lung conditions. We are calling on the Government to take action now.
Congrats to @NorthumbriaLung@NICRFqub and @NIHRCRN_nthames teams for recent recruitment bringing @TrialCLEAR to within 31 participants of target @ProfHurst
