VII. Translate into Russian

Cough is a protective reflex, its purpose being expulsion of respiratory secretions or foreign particles from air passages. It occurs due to stimulation of mechano- or chemo- receptors in throat, respiratory passages or stretch receptors in the lungs. Cough may be useful or useless. Useless (unproductive) cough should be suppressed. Useful (productive) cough serves to drain the airway. Its suppression is not desirable, it may even be harmful, except if the amount of expectoration achieved is small compared to the effort of continuous coughing.
