        Based on my analysis, the histological information is of importance. It can be a basis for future diagnosis or microanatomical studies. The histological information that the scientists or anatomists gather can help in the pathogenesis of elephants whose sick. In addition, it can determine the unknown cause of death.

                        Moreover, the respiratory tract is divided into two. The upper and lower respiratory tract. The upper respiratory tract includes: Nose Nasal cavity Sinuses Larynx Trachea The lower respiratory tract is consists of: Lungs Bronchi and bronchioles Air sacs (alveoli)

                        EPIGLOTTIS Epithelium: Stratified Squamous non-Keratinized The Epiglottis is like a leaf-shaped flap located at the base of the tongue. It prevents food in going to the trachea. However, if this gets infected, it can cause blockage of the windpipe making it hard or unable to breathe.

                        LUNGS Epithelium: Ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium The lungs are covered by a thin-double layered serous membrane known as Pleura. It functions to remove oxygen distributing it to the bloodstream

                        The Respiratory System includes the following organs:

                        Nose
                        Mouth
                        Throat (pharynx)
                        Voicebox (larynx)
                        Windpipe (trachea)
                        Large airways (bronchi)
                        Small airways (bronchioles)
                        Lungs

                        But the main organ of the Respiratory system is the LUNGS.
