The basic concepts of respiratory disease

I. Structure of the respiratory apparatus: Divide the upper respiratory tract, and lung parenchyma under

1. Inhalation on including the nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, epiglottis

2. The paranasal sinuses include the frontal sinus, maxillary sinus, sinusitis and sinus ready butterfly

1. Sinus butterfly; 2. Sinus ready; 3. Sinus welding; 4. The frontal sinuses

3. Respiratory below including laryngeal, tracheal, bronchial, bronchioles

4. The need including alveolar lung tissue, interstitial lung and pulmonary vascular

II. Functional respiratory apparatus

Upper respiratory tract to prevent foreign material enters the lower respiratory tract with coughing reflex; filtering the dust particles go into the airways through the system in the nose hairs; warmed, humidified air enters the lungs through the blood vessels into surrounding dense upper respiratory tract

Lower respiratory tract leading air enters the end of the alveolar

Parenchymal lung air exchange for the body: O2 is taken into the body and is excreted CO2

III. The common symptoms of the respiratory disease

1. systemic symptoms:

a. Fever: the sign that has inflammatory disease that occurs in the body

b. Fatigue, body aches, loss of appetite

2. Symptoms suggesting damage the respiratory apparatus

a. Damage to the upper respiratory tract:

Nasal symptoms: sneezing, itchy nose, nasal congestion, runny nose

Symptoms of sinus headache, aching forehead, purulent rhinorrhea, sore teeth

Oropharyngeal symptoms: sore throat, sore throat, itchy throat, dry cough

b. Lower respiratory tract injury:

Laryngeal symptoms: hoarseness, difficulty speaking

Bronchitis symptoms: cough, cough or phlegm, severe chest pain

Bronchitis symptoms: shortness of breath, wheezing, stridor

c. Injury to the lung parenchyma:

Shortness of breath, chest pain when inhaling deeply, coughing up phlegm, coughing up blood

The common respiratory disease will in turn be presented in the categories of common respiratory diseases including:

• Asthma
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
• Pneumonia
• Acute bronchitis
• Bronchodilator
• Pleural effusion
• Lung cancer
• Lao
• Flu
• Tobacco Addiction
• Obstructive sleep apnea

IV. The treatment of common respiratory disease

The treatment of respiratory disease usually presents in turn integrated into the post on the forum The common respiratory disease of this site
