Embodiment Construction

[0128] By way of background and in order to provide a context for the present invention, Figure 1A The respiratory system 10 is shown primarily within the chest cavity 11 . A description of the human body and physiology is provided to facilitate understanding of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope and characteristics of the present invention are not limited by the provided human description. In addition, it should be understood that an individual's physical characteristics will vary due to a variety of factors which are not described herein. Respiratory system 10 includes trachea 12 which carries air from nose 8 or mouth 9 into primary right bronchi 14 and primary left bronchi 16 . Air enters the right lung 18 from the primary right bronchus 14 ; air enters the left lung 18 from the primary left bronchus 14 . Right lung 18 and left lung 20 together make up lung 19 . The left lung 20 consists of only two lobes, while the right lu...
