The Respiratory System STRUCTURAL PLAN Basic plan of respiratory system would be similar to an inverted tree if it were hollow; leaves of the tree would be comparable to alveoli‚ with the microscopic sacs enclosed by networks of capillaries (Figure 14-1) Passive transport process of diffusion is responsible for the exchange of gases that occur during respiration. RESPIRATORY TRACTS Upper respiratory tract—nose‚ pharynx‚ and larynx Lower respiratory tract—trachea‚ bronchial tree‚ and lungs

The respiratory rate is a very important tool through which it is possible to recognise early signs of deterioration of a patient (Philip‚ Richardson & Maurice Cohen 2013‚ p. 570). Despite this‚ there is an increasing amount of cases in which healthcare professionals‚ nurses in particular‚ do not routinely assess and document this important vital sign correctly (Massey & Meredith 2010‚ p. 538).
