RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Respiratory System Organs and Its Functions Introduction to the respiratory system organs: The respiratory system is the system of the human body by which it produces energy needed for life processes. This energy is produced by the breaking down of glucose molecules in all living cells of the human body. Introduction to the respiratory system organs: In simple terms‚ Oxygen taken in to the body through air breathed in is transported to all parts of the body‚ and it

Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The most common sites of diphtheria infection are in the respiratory system. Infection primarily involving the tonsil(s)‚ pharynx and/or larynx‚ low-grade fever‚ with or without an asymmetrical greyish-white adherent membrane of the tonsil(s)‚ pharynx and/or nose. When the infection is at the larynx it causes tracheo bronchitis with hoarseness of voice‚ cough‚ stridor and croup. Secondary infection involving the skin

three major components of the respiratory system: airways‚ lungs‚ and muscles; all of which play a vital role in the respiratory cycle and homeostasis. The respiratory cycle begins in the airways and during inhalation‚ the mouth‚ nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ and bronchioles assist in carrying oxygen rich air between the bodies exterior to the lungs‚ and ventilates carbon dioxide in reverse. The nose and nasal cavity form the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nasal cavity

What organs are located in the upper respiratory tract? Nose‚ nasal cavities‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ and upper trachea are parts of the upper respiratory tract. 5.

respiratory tract (larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchial tree‚ and lungs). *The pharynx is a common passageway for air and food. The pharynx aids in producing sounds for speech. *The larynx is an enlargement in the airway superior to the trachea and inferior to the pharynx. It helps keep particles from entering the trachea and also houses the vocal cords. The larynx is composed of a framework of muscles and cartilage bound by elastic tissue. Inside the larynx‚ two pairs of folds

Pharynx: tube-like structure that connects oral and nasal cavities to the larynx; provides passageway for respiratory and digestive tracts. Located in the back of the oral cavity.
