Upper respiratory tract Overview. The major passages and structures of the upper respiratory tract include the nose or nostrils, nasal cavity, mouth, throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx). The respiratory system is lined with a mucous membrane that secretes mucus.

- Upper respiratory tract: This includes the nose, mouth, and the beginning of the trachea (the section that takes air in and lets it out). Lower respiratory tract: This includes the trachea, the bronchi, broncheoli and the lungs (the act of breathing takes place in this part of the system).

Human Physiology/Print Version http://www.nucleusinc.com. The main function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing.The upper respiratory tract (upper airway) consists of the nose, mouth, sinuses, pharynx (upper section of the throat), and larynx (voice box). The lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea (windpipe), bronchial tubes, and lungs.he respiratory system does this through breathing.

CONTENTS Respiratory system. Definition. noun. The system which includes bodily organs chiefly involved in gaseous exchange (respiration) between the body and the external environment. Supplement. The respiratory system functions by taking in oxygen to the body and giving off carbon dioxide to the external environment.This gas exchange happens in the alveolar region of the lungs.he respiratory system functions by taking in oxygen to the body and giving off carbon dioxide to the external environment. This gas exchange happens in the alveolar region of the lungs.

Anatomy Of The Respiratory System Anatomy Of The Respiratory System. The respiratory system (also referred to as the ventilator system) is a complex biological system comprised of several organs that facilitate the inhalation and exhalation of oxygen and carbon dioxide in living organisms (or, in other words, breathing).he nose and nasal cavity constitute the main external opening of the respiratory system. They represent the entryway to the respiratory tract – a passage through the body which air uses for travel in order to reach the lungs.

This condition is rarely present in a newborn of greater than 37 weeks gestation or in one weighing at least 5 lbs.

Respiratory tract The respiratory tract is divided into the upper airways and lower airways. The upper airways or upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, and the portion of the larynx above the vocal folds (cords).

Anatomy Right Upper Lobe of Lung. The right upper lobe of the lung is one of the three lobes that make up the right lung. The lung tissue of this lobe is responsible for most of the gas exchange in the right lung during calm, shallow breathing. The right upper lobe of the lung is located in the right superior corner of the thoracic cavity lateral to the trachea and esophagus.

Pathophysiology of ARDS Air moves through the respiratory system from the base of the trunk to the tips of the twigs. Clustered at the tips of the trachiobronchial twigs are tiny air sacs called alveoli, where inhaled oxygen passes into the blood stream. This is where acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs.

- Introduction. The respiratory system consists of the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and the lungs. Its primary function is the basic exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It filters the air that enters the body and exchanges gases within air sacs in the lungs called alveoli.

- The respiratory tract is divided into the upper airways and lower airways. The upper airways or upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, and the portion of the larynx above the vocal cords.he upper respiratory tract, can refer to the parts of the respiratory system lying above the sternal angle (outside of the thorax), above the glottis (vocal cords), or above the cricoid cartilage. So that the larynx is sometimes included in the upper airway and sometimes in the lower airway.

Scabies Diagnosis can be made simply by observing the characteristic burrows of the mites causing scabies. A sterilized needle can be used to explore the pearly bump at the end of a burrow, remove its contents, and place it on a slide to be examined. The mite itself may then be identified under a microscope.

Functions of Respiratory System Organs Larynx. From the pharynx, air enters into the larynx, commonly called the voice box. The larynx is part of the upper respiratory tract that has two main functions: a passageway for air to enter into the lungs, and a source of vocalization.

Parts of the Respiratory System Upper and Lower Structure. Major organs of this system are grouped into two broad categories which are respiratory tract and lungs. However, it cannot perform its functions without the assistance of pulmonary blood circulation and oxygen binding protein, hemoglobin.

- assessments. This indicates the potential value of respira-tory sound characterization in patients with upper airway obstruction. (Chest 1992; 102:963-65) cute upper airway obstruction commonly presents with abnormal respiratory sounds. Inspiratory stridor is a well recognized clinical sign, but stenosis of the upper airways may also lead to greater respiratory noise that lacks the musical quality of stridor. We report measurements of tracheal sounds in a boy with noisy breathing because of

General Anatomy/Respiratory System Introduction[edit] The respiratory system serves three principal purposes in the human body: gaseous exchange; sound production; and assistance in compression of the abdomen. It can be divided into two structural divisions, upper and lower, as well as two functional divisions, conducting and respiratory.

- In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, and diaphragm.Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood.ee also: Respiratory tract. The respiratory system (called also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration in an organism.

Respiratory tract The respiratory tract is divided into the upper airways and lower airways. The upper airways or upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, and the portion of the larynx above the vocal cords. The lower airways or lower respiratory tract includes the portion of the larynx below the vocal cords, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles. The lungs can be included in the lower respiratory tract or as separate entity and include the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli.

The lung tissue of this lobe is responsible for most of the gas exchange in the right lung during calm, shallow breathing. The right upper lobe of the lung is located in the right superior corner of the thoracic cavity lateral to the trachea and esophagus. It is superior to the horizontal and oblique fissures, which separates the upper lobe from the middle and lower lobes of the right lung....
