Treatment of respiratory diseases in Cherkasy

An ordinary person can live without oxygen for no more than five minutes. The body is supplied with this component of the air through the respiratory system which is a set of organs, including:

• nasal cavity;
• nasopharynx and oropharynx;
• larynx;
• trachea;
• bronchi;
• lungs.

Using the respiratory system, oxygen enters the body and gaseous products of metabolism are excreted, including carbon dioxide. In addition to the main functions – respiration and gas exchange – the respiratory system also takes part in heat exchange, voice formation, olfaction, humidification of inhaled air, the synthesis of hormones, and other metabolic processes.

Causes of respiratory diseases are as follows:

• bacterial infections (pneumococci, Haemophilus influenzae, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Mycobacterium tuberculosis);
• viral infections, including influenza;
• body’s sensitivity to external allergens;

• genetic predisposition and congenital anomalies;

The factors provoking the development of these diseases include the following:

• air pollution, including domestic;
• unfavorable climate;
