discussion for this assignment. In addition to providing the body with oxygen and expelling

carbon dioxide, the respiratory system plays a key role in homeostasis by contributing to pH

balance, temperature control, and disease prevention. These topics will be further discussed

throughout this paper among the following sections: pathophysiology, subjective data collection,

objective data collection, examination procedures, special population considerations, disease

processes, and conclusion.

Physiology of the Body System

The respiratory system is comprised of several organs and is usually viewed as two tracts:

the upper and lower respiratory tracts. The upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal

cavity, sinuses, and pharynx. These structures are often referred to as conducting organs, the

function of which is to move air throughout into and out of the system. The upper respiratory

structures do not perform gas exchange, they play the role of warming and moistening the air

entering the body, as well as filtering out potentially infectious or harmful particles and debris.

The larynx is most well-known as the "voice box", but also serves as the gateway to the lungs,

letting air in and out and sealing shut to prevent aspiration and choking. From the larynx, the

trachea provides structure to support the airway and ultimately divides into the main stem

bronchi in the lower respiratory tract. Each bronchi leads to the main organs of the respiratory

system: the lungs. The lungs are divided into lobes with the right lung having three lobes and left

lung having two to allow room for the heart. Each lung is comprised of alveoli, alveolar ducts,

and alveolar sacs which are responsible for performing gas exchange (McCance, Huether,

Brashers, & Rote, 2013). Though the lungs are often the sole organ credited with respiration, all

of these structures must function together to effectively complete each step in the cycle of

respiration.
