Anatomy and physiology. The lungs are situated within the ribcage enclosed by two pleural membranes (Fig 1). At the base of the thorax, separating it from the abdominal cavity, lies the diaphragm.

Airway. The respiratory system is extremely vulnerable to infection and damage from pollutants because its warm, moist, 85m 2 surface area is in continuous contact with the environment (West, 2008).
