The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing 😁 These include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs 😎 The respiratory system does two very important things: it brings oxygen into our bodies, which we need for our cells to live and function properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular function. Each organ, including the nose, pharynx and larynx as well as the trachea, trachea, and bronchi, works like a network of pipes that funnels air into our lungs. The alveoli (very small air sacs) are where oxygen and carbon dioxide are brought into the bloodstream 😉 It is difficult to obtain the oxygen you need or get rid of any waste products if there are problems with the respiratory system. Carbon dioxide. Common symptoms of respiratory problems include chest pain, breathlessness and cough. [1]
If you experience pain or breathing problems, contact your doctor. To determine if you have a problem with your breathing, the provider will examine your heartbeat, chest and lungs. Check to see if you have a respiratory infection. System is working As it is appropriate, imaging tests may be used by your healthcare provider such as a CT or MRI. These are the Imaging Tests tests allow your provider to see swelling or blockages in your lungs and other parts of your respiratory system. A provider might also suggest pulmonary function testing, which may include spirometry. The spirometer measures how much air your lungs are able to exhale. To prevent lung disease and serious respiratory problems, see your doctor regularly. It is important to get these problems diagnosed early in order to prevent severe consequences.

The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. It’s is making up of cartilage and bone as well as muscle and skin. The nasal cavity supports and protects its anterior section. A hollow cavity within the nasal skull is called the nasal cavity. It is lined by mucus membrane and hairs. The nasal cavity serves three functions: to warmth, moisturize, and drain. Filter air It enters the body through the nose before reaching the lungs. The nasal cavity is lined with mucus and hairs that trap pollen, dust and other contaminants. Air exiting the body through the nose returns moisture and heat The air is exhaled out into the atmosphere after being absorbed through the nasal cavity. We are grateful to Candrea Vanhorn, Jianyang (China) for her prompt response. [3]
Julio Metcalf at visiblebody.comThe term pulmonary ventilation is also used to describe how the respiratory system assists in breathing. The nasal and oral cavities, which are the mouth and nose, allow air to be inhaled. Air is inhaled through the nasal, oral, and larynx into the lungs. After that, air is exhaled. It flows through the same route. Changes in air volume or pressure trigger pulmonary ventilation. Normal inhalation results in the diaphragm contracting and the external intercostal muscle muscles expanding, and the ribcage rising. Air pressure falls as the volume of your lungs expands and more air is rushed in. The muscles contract during normal exhalation. Air is exppelled when the lungs shrink and the pressure in the air increases. Lerone Galardo (Tolyatti, Russia), last updated this 4 days ago [4]
