Can you list diseases that affect the respiratory system?


I'm doing a project in my Biology class and I need to find out the different kinds of diseases that can harm a respiratory system. What would also be nice would be a list of diseases that only effect certain part of the respiraty system. If anyone knows of any, please inform me. I thank you all in advance!

Asthma
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Pleurasy
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Alvoelar proteinosis
Lung Cancer
Black Lung disease

Asthma
Bronchitis
Lung cancer
Emphysema

Also add to the above White lung.

There are three primary respiratory diseases: Bronchitis, Asthma and restrictive lung disease. The respiratory system is so closely associated related to the heart and they both have to work together.

Cystic Fibrosis--lungs make too much mucous clogging the airways--upper lobes affected at a greater extent than the lower ones.
