  • Structures of the Respiratory System

    The respiratory system comprises various structures and respiratory centers that facilitate effective respiration. Three of these structures are the nose, pharynx and larynx. The nose constitutes a visible external nose and an internal nasal cavity. The nose performs several crucial functions that condition the air before it enters the pharynx. Air from outside constitutes various…

Systema respiratorium serves to deliver inhaled air through the lungs oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide. In addition to the lungs, namely: the nasal cavity and pharynx, then the larynx, trachea, and bronchi…

  • Respiratory Issue Complicated by Economic Disadvantage

    Diagnosis and Pathophysiology The diagnosis is asthma. The main etiologic factor is a genetic predisposition to type 1 hypersensitivity. This results in acute inflammation which eventually leads to chronic inflammation of the airways and hyper responsiveness of the bronchial mucosa to various stimuli (Mims, 2015). Airway inflammation involves various inflammatory cells and inflammatory mediators, but…
