Patient was educated on the various parts of respiratory zone of the respiratory tract along with their functions as follows: Respiratory bronchioles Terminal bronchioles further divide into smaller and thin walled respiratory bronchioles. Air from the terminal bronchioles of the conduction zone enters the respiratory bronchioles and is conducted into the next part of the respiratory zone, the alveoli. Exchange of gases begins in the respiratory bronchioles, though the main site of gas exchange is [...]

Patient was educated on the various parts of conduction zone of the respiratory tract along with their functions as follows: Larynx Apart from helping in conduction of moist and warm air from the nasopharynx to trachea, larynx also contributes to the important function of generation of sound while speaking. So, larynx is also called the voice box. Trachea Trachea receives the moist and warm air from larynx and helps conducting it to the bronchi, the [...]

Patient was educated on the various parts of conduction zone of the respiratory tract along with their functions as follows: Nose Nose and nasal cavities help in breathing air in from the environment. The walls of the nasal cavities have hairs that help in filtering the dust, foreign particles and bacteria from the air breathed in and prevent them from reaching the lungs, where they can possibly precipitate an infection. Nasal cavities The nasal cavities [...]

Patient was educated on functional zones of respiratory tract as follows: Functionally, the respiratory tract is divided into the following: Conduction zone Respiratory zone Conduction zone includes all the structures that help in conducting the air breathed in through the nose. This zone comprises nose and nasal cavities, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and terminal bronchioles. Respiratory zone includes respiratory bronchioles and alveoli of the lungs that help with exchange of gases.  

Patient was educated on anatomy of respiratory tract and its parts as follows: Anatomically, the respiratory tract is basically divided into the following: Upper respiratory tract Lower respiratory tract Upper respiratory tract includes nose and nasal cavities, nasopharynx, and part of larynx above the vocal cords. Upper respiratory tract is mainly a conduction pathway, helping to transport air breathed in through the nose to the structures of lower respiratory tract. Lower respiratory tract includes part [...]
