	Respiratory System
		A sufficient supply of oxygen is required for the aerobic respiratory machinery of Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport System to efficiently convert stored organic energy into energy trapped in ATP.
		Many terrestrial animals have their respiratory surfaces inside the body and connected to the outside by a series of tubes.
		Respiratory pigments increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

	Respiratory therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Respiratory therapy is an allied health field involved in the treatment of breathing disorders which include chronic lung problems (i.e., asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema) as well as more acute health problems related to other injury.
		Respiratory therapy might be needed to clear excess mucus and fluid from the bronchial tree, or to control swelling and inflammation of the bronchial passages.
		The operating principle of a Respiratory Therapist is to assist patients to generally improve breathing capacity and the quality of life.

	Respiratory therapists
		Respiratory therapists provide temporary relief to patients with chronic asthma or emphysema, as well as emergency care to patients who are victims of a heart attack, stroke, drowning, or shock.
		Respiratory therapists also administer aerosols—liquid medications suspended in a gas that forms a mist which is inhaled—and teach patients how to inhale the aerosol properly to ensure its effectiveness.
		Employment of respiratory therapists is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2012, because of substantial growth in numbers of the middle-aged and elderly population—a development that will heighten the incidence of cardiopulmonary disease.

		From the trachea distally, the respiratory tree divides into paired branches of unequal length and diameter and is, therefore, described as having an arborizing branching pattern of irregular dichotomy.
		1092 The acinus is the functional or terminal respiratory unit of the lung and includes all structures from the respiratory bronchiole to the alveolus (alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli).
		Infections occur more frequently in the respiratory tract than in any other organ, yet this might be anticipated when one considers the heavy and constant environmental exposure to which the lung is subjected by breathing.

		The respiratory system is the system by which oxygen, essential for life, is taken into the body and the waste product, carbon dioxide, is expelled from the body.
		The function of the respiratory system is rather simple in concept: to bring in oxygen from the atmosphere and get rid of carbon dioxide from the blood.
		The lungs are the center of the respiratory system and the nose, throat and trachea (windpipe) comprise the respiratory tract.

		Clinical features: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under 1 year of age.
		The virion is variable in shape and size (average diameter of between 120 and 300 nm), is unstable in the environment (surviving only a few hours on environmental surfaces), and is readily inactivated with soap and water and disinfectants.
		Excluding children with colds or other respiratory illnesses (without fever) who are well enough to attend child care or school settings will probably not decrease the transmission of RSV, since it is often spread in the early stages of illness (read about RSV in the Child Care Setting).

	Introductory Anatomy: Respiratory System
		(Description of respiratory tract from nose to trachea here from overheads) (There is a brief complication where the airstream crosses the path taken by food and drink in the pharynx: air flows on down the trachea where food normally passes down the oesophagus to the stomach.
		The respiratory tract, from nasal cavities to the smallest bronchi, is lined by a layer of sticky mucus, secreted by the epithelium assisted by small ducted glands.
		The length of the respiratory tract helps in both bringing the air to the right temperature and humidity but hinders the actual ventilation, as a long tract has a greater volume of air trapped within it, and demands a large breath to clear out residual air.

		Even trees have respiratory systems, taking in carbon dioxide and emitting oxygen during the day, consuming oxygen and producing carbon dioxide at night.
		In humans and other mammals, the respiratory system consists of the lungs, the series of tubes leading to the lungs, and the chest structures responsible for bringing air into and out of the lungs during respiration.
		The large surface area the respiratory tract is constantly exposed to microbes, and the respiratory system includes many mechanisms to defend itself and prevent pathogens from entering the body.
