lower and upper respiratory system
Pulmonologists treat the lower respiratory system, and otolargyngologists treat the upper respiratory system.
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.
birds
The upper respiratory system removes gross particles from the air, warms and humidifies it, and passes it to the lower respiratory system.
No, the nose and throat are the upper respiratory system; they are above the lungs (when you are standing up).
The nose is the first cleaned and moistened warm part of the respiratory system. The nose acts as a filter for air to get to the lower respiratory system.
The human respiratory system would be most affected by a lower than normal atmospheric pressure because the air would be much thinner and therefore contain less oxygen.
The lungs are intimately in contact with the cardiovascular system. The alveoli in the lungs is where gas exchange occurs from the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
epiglottis
The main parts of the lower respiratory tract are the trachea, two bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs. The upper and lower respiratory tracts come together to make up the entire respiratory system.
Lung cancer is cancer of the lungs. Lung cancer that has not metastasized affects the lower respiratory system and different parts of the lungs.
