Another fascinating system that we need to study is the respiratory system. Without the tissues and organs which compose it, we cannot breathe.

Here is the histology art I have made for the tissues of the respiratory system.

  According to Hoffman (2009), the lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs situated on either side of the chest. It is covered by a thin tissue layer referred to as the pleura, which also lines the inside of the chest cavity.

  The trachea or the windpipe conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. It is made of rings of cartilage. It is lined with cells that produce mucus. This mucus keeps allergens, dust particles, or other debris away from the lungs.

  The larynx is a hollow tube connecting the pharynx to the rest of the respiratory system’s organs. It helps you swallow safely. Moreover, it contains our voice box.
