it envelopes the heart to get to the lungs one side pushes oxygen rich blood throughout the body the other side pushes the deoxygenated blood out it all circulates in our body and then gets excreted through our bowels or urinary tract
What is the main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract?
The main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract is Immunoglobulin A (IgA). It plays a crucial role in defending against pathogens that enter through the respiratory mucosa by neutralizing and preventing their attachment to the mucosal surface.
Is the pharynx distal or proximal to lung?
In terms of the respiratory tract, the pharynx is proximal to the lung. It comes before the lungs as air moves through the respiratory tract.
Largest tube of the respiratory tract?
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is the largest tube in the respiratory tract. It carries air from the larynx to the bronchi and is essential for the passage of air into the lungs for respiration.
What is the primary responsibility of the upper respiratory tract?
The upper respiratory system removes gross particles from the air, warms and humidifies it, and passes it to the lower respiratory system.
The upper respiratory tract includes the lungs.?

What happen in deglutition?
Your epiglottis come down to close the respiratory tract. The food bolus is pushed back to enter the oesophagus.
What happens to air as it passes the respiratory system?
In the lower respiratory system, air that has been filtered of pathogens and warmed in the upper respiratory tract is transported to the lungs. There, oxygen will be pulled from the inhaled air and deposited into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide pulled from the bloodstream is released back into the lungs to be expelled from the body upon exhaling. This exchange of gases is the primary function of the respiratory system.
Acute lower respiratory tract infection?
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.
Where does the breathing begin?
The respiratory tract consists of organs and tissues such as the nose, pharynx, bronchi, trachea and alveoli. The respiratory tract starts at the nose.
Are these parts of the lower respiratory tract?
To determine if specific parts are part of the lower respiratory tract, you would typically consider structures such as the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. In contrast, the upper respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx. If you provide specific parts, I can clarify if they belong to the lower respiratory tract.
What is the main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract?
The main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract is Immunoglobulin A (IgA). It plays a crucial role in defending against pathogens that enter through the respiratory mucosa by neutralizing and preventing their attachment to the mucosal surface.
What is the medical term meaning stale air in the respiratory tract?
The residual volume is the portion of air in the respiratory tract that cannot be exhaled.
