Abstract
Human respiratory system is one of the biological systems that involves specific tissues and organs that are responsible for the breathing process, the air quality, and the gas exchange that are essential processes for human life. The respiratory tract characteristically and intensively interacts with the environment. In this chapter, we will overview the structure of the human respiratory system. We will also briefly describe the developmental stages of human respiratory system.
