	Respiratory system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even trees have respiratory systems, taking in carbon dioxide and emitting oxygen during the day, consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen constantly.
		In humans and other mammals, the respiratory system consists of the lungs, the bronchi, which lead to the lungs, and the chest structures.
		The respiratory tract is constantly exposed to microbes due to the extensive surface area, which is why the respiratory system includes many mechanisms to defend itself and prevent pathogens from entering the body.

		The conducting zone of the respiratory system is made up of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles.
		Upper respiratory tract infection, also popularly known as either the acronym URTI or URI, is the disease characterised by an acute infection which involves the upper respiratory tract: nose, sinuses, pharynx, or larynx.
		The trachea (IPA /treikiə/), or windpipe, is a tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi in mammals, and from the pharynx to the syrinx in birds, carrying air to the lungs.

		The conducting zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.
		The upper respiratory tract is formed by the nose, pharynx, and larynx, which are located in the head and neck.
		The lower respiratory tract is formed by the trachea, bronchi, and lungs (= bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli), which are located in the thorax (chest).

		The respiratory zone is where gas exchanges are actually made in the lungs.
		The conducting zone is the passageways by which air reaches the respiratory zone.
		Respiratory system diseases are relatively common because of its being open to airborne "stuff." The most serious of these diseases is lung cancer, followed by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), like chronic emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

	Respiratory System
		The subsystem that removes carbon dioxide from the lungs in moves in fresh air from outside is made up of the nasal cavity (nose), the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea, the bronchi (and all the smaller branches of the bronchi), and the air sacs, or alveoli, to which the entire external respiration subsystem leads to.
		The respiration zone consists of the bronchioles (not the large bronchi), the alveolar ducts, and the alveoli, all of which basically make up the lungs.
		As part of the conducting zone, it cleans the air of dust and other impurities, warms the air if it is too cool, and moistens the air if it is dry.

		Respiratory alkalosis reflects an increase in ventilation and a reduction in blood H+ ions (i.e., increase in pH) due to the loss of CO2.
		The functions of the conducting zone are to warm, humidify and distribute inspired air to the gas exchange area or the respiratory zone.
		The respiratory zone is comprised of the respiratory bronchioles, the alveolar duct and the alveolus.

	RESPIRATORY STRUCTURES REVIEW PAGE
		The thin-walled respiratory bronchioles are the first air passages of the "exchange zone," as significant gas exchange occurs across the walls of the respiratory bronchioles (about 1% of total gas exchange).
		The respiratory bronchioles enter the alveolar ducts, which are central airways within alveolar sacs, and lead to the individual alveoli within the alveolar sacs.
		The upper respiratory tract has epithelial cells with cilia that move mucus back towards the mouth, from which the mucus can be swallowed.

	THE LOBULAR-ALVEOLO-CAPILLARY CYCLES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		The decrease of the sub-atmospheric intra-pleural pressure as a consequence of the pleural capacity increases.
		The fibre-elastic structure, and especially that of the interlobular walls, is simultaneously shrunk; therefore, it exerts forces opposite in direction and sense to the vector of the air displacement and, when pulling from its insertion points at the visceral pleura stretches the pleural -adhesion medium with the consequent increase in the pleural capacity.
		The first half of the lobular cycle is concerned with the displacement of the air volume mass from the ventilatory zone up to the mouth of the alveoli, as well as the preparation of the mechanical conditions for the alveolo-capillary cycle.

	NAP Skim View of:
		Taken together, the conducting airways and respiratory zone are referred to as the lower respiratory tract, and since they contain no gas exchange surface, the upper and conducting airways combined are often called the anatomic dead space.
		The respiratory zone, with a volume of about 3 liters compared to the 160 ml of anatomic dead space, contains most of the functional residual gas volume, and yet the total path length of 6 mm along alveolated airways is only a fraction of the 40 cm between the nose and the terminal conducting airways.
		Each airway zone was bounded by a tissue layer coated with an inner liquid film of either mucus in conducting zones or surfactant in respiratory zones.

		Respiratory system organs are divided functionally into conducting zone structures (nose to bronchioles), which filter, warm, and moisten incoming air; and respiratory zone structures (respiratory bronchioles to alveoli), where gas exchanges occur.
		As the respiratory conduits become smaller, cartilage is reduced in amount and finally lost; the mucosa thins, and smooth muscle in the walls increases.
		Respiratory volumes and capacities may be measured by spirometry.

		The lung is an organ belonging to the respiratory system and interfacing to the circulatory system of air-breathing vertebrates.
		When the bird exhales, the fresh air now contained within the posterior air sac is driven into the lungs and the stale air now contained within the anterior air sacs is expelled through the trachea into the atmosphere.
		Spiders have structures called "book lungs", which are not evolutionarily related to vertebrate lungs but serve a similar respiratory purpose.

		The respiratory zone, composed of all the alveolated airways and airspaces, is responsible for oxygenation of and carbon dioxide removal from the pul- monary capillaries.
		Taken together, the conducting airways and respiratory zone are referred to as the lower respiratory tract, and since they contain no gas ex- change surface, the upper and conducting airways combined are often called the ana- tomic dead space.
		In Weibel's model A, there are seven symmet- ric generations of respiratory airways, and along the 6-mm path leading from the first respiratory bronchioli to the alveolar sacs, the air-tissue surface available for gas ex- change increases from 0.16 to 39 m2 per generation.

	Best Practices for the Protection of Hospital-Based First Receivers
		Respiratory tract and eye irritation were the primary symptoms and no employees required hospitalization.
		Any respiratory protection for first receivers must be included in a formal written respiratory protection program, as required by 29 CFR 1910.134 (Respiratory Protection), or the parallel State Plan standards.
		This zone includes, but is not limited to, places where initial triage and/or medical stabilization of possibly contaminated victims occur, pre-decontamination waiting (staging) areas for victims, the actual decontamination area, and the post-decontamination victim inspection area.

		The acinus includes all of the structures of the respiratory portion of the lung: namely, the respiratory bronchiole and the alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs.
		The primary function of the respiratory system is gaseous exchange, that is, to bring oxygen into the body during inspiration and to expel carbon dioxide during expiration.
		Thus, respiratory therapists refer to the branching pattern inside the lungs as the generations of the bronchial tree.
