Topics covered: • Describe the branching structure of the respiratory tree • Understand the different functions of the large and small airways • Appreciate how structure relates to function in the respiratory tract • Describe and recognise the histology of the terminal portion of the respiratory tree • Describe the dual blood circulation to the lungs

The immune system is a network of soluble proteins, cells, tissues and organs that defend the body against foreign invaders. These concise lecture notes aim to provide a good understanding of this with the assistance of clear diagrams.
