The respiratory system is the bodily network responsible for breathing, allowing us to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and includes the nose, mouth, throat, trachea, and lungs. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with respiratory conditions have difficulty breathing.
The most common respiratory conditions are asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and obstructive sleep apnoea.
