Upper Respiratory Tract

🫁 Anatomy of the Respiratory System The respiratory is broken down into the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. The Upper Respiratory Tract Includes: 1️⃣ Nasal passages 2️⃣ Sinuses 3️⃣ Pharynx 4️⃣ Larynx ⭐️ Key functions: Air filtration, humidification, smell, coughing, speaking, swallowing The Lower Respiratory Tract Includes: 1️⃣ Trachea 2️⃣ Bronchi 3️⃣ Bronchioles 4️⃣ Alveoli ⭐️ Key functions: Gas exchange, sound production, and maintaining acid-base balance

The structures of the upper respiratory system warm and clean the air by trapping particles and pollutants before they travel into the lungs.

Anatomy of Upper Respiratory Tract. Note the main structures of nares (nostrils), vibrissae (nose hairs), vestibule (where you would pick your nose), nasal cavity, and nasal conchae. the vibrissae filter pollen and dust. Nasal conchae serves the purpose of pushing air over mucous membranes that cleanse and humidify air.
