Question and Answer for the Respiratory System

Q= Question
A= Answer

In a clinic a patient asked me........              (Patient Name: Harper)
Q: Doctor which is the correct way to breath, through your mouth or your nose?

A: Well Harper, the correct way of breathing is to inhale from your nose and to exhale through your mouth. That is the correct way to breath because if you inhale from your mouth and there are bacteria and germs in the air those bacteria and germs will get inside your body, as there is nothing preventing the germs and bacteria entering your body. While, if you inhale through your nose, cilia (cilia are nose hairs) prevent the germs from getting inside your body.
