Respiratory tracts are the compounds which direct breathing air from the outside to the alveoli. They are distinguished into the upper and lower respiratory tract, with the upper respiratory tract being formed of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasal mucosa, nasal hair, cilia and throat (pharynx). Lower airways include the larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, end bronchioles, bronchioli respiratorii, and alveolar ducts. In addition to the respiratory tract or the air-conducting structures, the respiratory tract also includes the areas of the lung required for the gas exchange - in particular the alveoli (alveoli).
Disease of the respiratory tract or the respiratory tract are generally relatively widespread, in addition to infectious diseases with subsequent pneumonia or bronchitis especially damage caused by long-term tobacco use and bronchial asthma increasingly occur. However, many other diseases can affect the respiratory tract. Typical symptoms of respiratory complaints are cold, coughing and shortness of breath. If the symptoms are based on a bacterial or viral infection, concomitant symptoms such as pharyngeal pain, hoarseness, fever or even headache and pain in the limbs often appear. In addition, bronchitis and pneumonia are often associated with pain in the chest and in severe disease courses with hemoptysis. Although respiratory complaints usually go back to a rather harmless flu or a cold infection, but they should still not be taken lightly. Coughing that lasts for a long period of time requires urgent medical examination, as serious illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or even lung cancer can be the cause of respiratory symptoms.
