Function  The function of the respiratory system is to inhale fresh air, exchange harmful carbon  dioxide for life-sustaining oxygen between the tiny air sacs of the lungs and the  bloodstream; and exhaling old, stale air.  Diseases / Disorders  Cheyne-Stokes Respiration - Unusual breathing pattern characterized by periods of  apnea (between 10 and 60 seconds), followed by gradually increasing respirations.  Rales - Abnormal crackling sound heard during auscultation of the lungs while the  patient is breathing in; unusually indicated the presence of fluid of mucus in the airway.  Rhonchi - A coarse rattling or high-pitched snoring sound heard during auscultation of  the lungs; usually indicates narrowing of the air passages, such as during asthma or a  respiratory infection.  Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - Disease characterized by reduced  ability of the lungs to perform their function of ventilation. Symptoms include persistent  dyspnea during exertion (with or without chronic cough) and less than fifty percent of  normal inspiratory capacity (the amount of air taken in during a deep breath.)  Common Cold - Acute (short-term) inflammation of the respiratory mucous membranes;  also called nasopharyngitis or rhinopharyngitis.  Hemothorax - Bloody fluid in the pleural cavity caused by the rupture of small blood  vessels due to inflammation of the lungs. Hemothorax is common in pneumonia,  tuberculosis, and malignant tumors. 

​ V​ ocabulary Nasal Cavity​ - open area behind the nose that is lined with cilia, mucus, and capillaries. This helps to filter, moisten, and warm the air we breathe. oral cavity​ - A pathway for oxygen, food and liquid to enter the body. Contains the teeth, tongue and salivary glands. Diaphragm​ - Sheet of muscle beneath the lungs that contracts and relaxes which changes the air pressure in the chest cavity to move gasses into and out of the lungs. Pharynx​ - muscular funnel passageway used by food, liquid and air, which helps with swallowing. The epiglottis is attached at the base of this tube. Trachea​ - Structure: outside is lined with C-shaped cartilage and inside is lined with mucus and cilia. C-shaped cartilage helps to keep the neck and head flexible and protect the tube from collapsing. The mucus and cilia trap dust, bacteria, and pollen to filter the air we breathe. Bronchi​ - Airways in the lungs that lead from the trachea to the bronchioles. These tubes are lined with mucus and cilia to continue to help filter the air. There are three sets; primary, secondary, and tertiary bronchi. Bronchiole​ - Tube smaller than a strand of hair that help to transfer oxygen to the alveoli. Alveoli​ - Clusters of thin-walled sacs surrounded by capillaries that allow for quick exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Epiglottis​ - flap of tissue at the base of the pharynx that covers the trachea when we swallow to prevent us from choking. Capillaries​ - Smallest of the blood vessels through which exchanges take place between the blood and cells of the body Cilia​ - Microscopic hair-like structures that line the nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi to help filter the air we breathe Larynx​ - piece of cartilage protecting two vocal folds of tissue which allow us to speak. mucociliary escalator​ - The layer of ciliated, mucus-covered cells in the respiratory tract.The cilia continually beat, sweeping contaminated mucus upward toward the pharynx. Pleura​ - Membrane surrounding the lungs that help the organ slide smoothly against the ribs and muscles Pulmonary​ - referring to the lungs, as in pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs)

​Health care Otolaryngologist​ - O​ tolaryngology is a medical specialty which is focused on the ears, nose, and throat. It is also called otolaryngology-head and neck surgery because specialists are trained in both medicine and surgery. An otolaryngologist is often called an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or an ENT for short. This medical specialty dates back to the 19th century, when doctors recognized that the head and neck contained a series of interconnected systems. Doctors developed techniques and tools for examining and treating problems of the head and neck, eventually forming a medical specialty. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, it is the oldest medical specialty in the United States. Otolaryngologists differ from many physicians in that they are qualified to perform many types of surgery on the delicate and complex tissues of the head and neck. Pulmonologist​ - ​A p​ ulmonologist​ is a doctor who diagnoses and treats diseases of the ​respiratory system​ -- the lungs and other organs that help you breathe. For some relatively short-lasting illnesses that affect your lungs,​ like t​ he flu​ or p​ neumonia,​ you might be able to get all the care you need from your regular doctor. But if your cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms don't get better, you might need to see a pulmonologist.
