Pulmonology

Pulmonology is the medical field that sees to the health of the respiratory system. The respiratory system consists of organs that let you breathe. The three major parts of this system are nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, lungs, and the respiratory muscles. The specialists who diagnose and treat disorders affecting the respiratory system are known as pulmonologists. They cure everything from asthma to tuberculosis.
