Is the trachea in the lower respiratory tract?
Yes, the trachea is the first structure classified as a part of the lower respiratory tract.
What part of the lower respiratory tract is made up of tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
Alveoli
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.
What cartilage is also known as a lid for the larynx?
The cartilage known as a lid for the larynx is the epiglottis. It is a flexible, leaf-shaped structure that covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food and liquids from entering the airway. The epiglottis plays a crucial role in protecting the respiratory tract while allowing air to enter the lungs.
Is the trachea in the lower respiratory tract?
Yes, the trachea is the first structure classified as a part of the lower respiratory tract.
Acute lower respiratory tract infection?
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.
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.
Is the lower respiratory tract considered sterile?

Is lower respiratory tract infection curable?
yes
What does the lower respiratory tract consist of?
Trachea,Bronchi,Lungs
What is the mode of transmission of lower respiratory tract infection?
airborne
What parts are in the lower respiratory tract?
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.
What are the Features of the lower respiratory tract?
There are several structures associated with the lower respiratory tract. Those worth mentioning include: the trachea, the bronchi, the bronchial tree, the lungs, and the pleural cavity.
How does epithelium in each region of the respiratory tract adapted so its form follows its function?
In the upper respiratory tract, you have ciliated cells and mucosal glands that help keep particles out of the lower respiratory tract. Where the very thin type 1 cells faciliate gas exchange.
How lion respire?
upper respiratory tract is outside the chest cavity, and the lower respiratory tract, which contains gas-exchanging pulmonary tissues, is inside the chest cavity
How can fungi cause respiratory-tract infections?
Once a fungus is inhaled, it will multiply, either in the upper or lower respiratory tracts. As the fungi multiply, it will interfere with breathing, causing an overabundance of mucus. An upper respiratory tract infection includes the common cold and laryngitis. Lower respiratory tract infections are usually more serious and include bronchitis and pneumonia, both of which can be fatal.
