The respiratory system
The airway from nose to alveolus, and the muscles that move it. Leumas holds 287 cited structures in the human respiratory system; 50 of them have a page here.
What the respiratory system is
The airway from nose to alveolus, and the muscles that move it. In this atlas it is a grouping over 287 structures rather than a node in the graph, which is why every one of them can also be reached on its own.
What is in it
The respiratory structures with pages here break down as 30 organs, 11 muscles, 3 glands, 2 tissues, 2 cartilages.
