1. respiratory

   The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs; in mammals and reptiles these are called alveoli, and in birds they are known as atria. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration. In most fish, and a number of other aquatic animals (both vertebrates and invertebrates) the respiratory system consists of gills, which are either partially or completely external organs, bathed in the watery environment. This water flows over the gills by a variety of active or passive means. Gas exchange takes place in the gills which consist of thin or very flat filaments and lammelae which expose a very large surface area of highly vascularized tissue to the water. Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plants also have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in plants includes anatomical features such as stomata, that are found in various parts of the plant.

1. respiratory

   Respiratory refers to anything related to the process of respiration: the act or process of inhaling and exhaling; breathing. It also refers to the system in the body that facilitates this process and includes organs and structures such as the lungs, bronchi, trachea, larynx, nose, mouth and diaphragm. So, respiratory can describe an action, a disease, a process, or a part of the body that is involved in the breathing process.

Examples of Respiratory in a Sentence

1. The GoFundMe page:

   Thanks to the miracle of modern science he has pulled through, but is still in a very fragile state, his right arm has been paralyzed and at this moment, has limited use of his hands and legs. In addition, he’s dealing with respiratory issues that demand constant care.

2. Jonathan Reiner:

   The ER and ICU nurses. The respiratory techs. The people who staffed the vaccination clinics and gave shots to 300 million people, these are the people who really put this fire out. 3600 healthcare workers died during this pandemic. We should hear about the people who were essential workers who couldn't zoom for work. People who drove the buses. Police and fire. People who delivered food. This country was held together by the people in our communities who... fulfilled their responsibilities at great personal peril. I want to hear about how small businesses survived. There's so much to talk about. And it's so uplifting.

3. Paul Turner:

   We still need to analyze our data with regards to safety in children who also have asthma, but the preliminary data indicates that children with well-controlled asthma who are well at the time of vaccination do not experience any significant respiratory problems following LAIV.

4. Ian Williams:

   There is no evidence out there that, so far with [ Covid-19 ], that its foodborne-driven or food service-driven, this really is respiratory, person-to-person. At this point there is no evidence really pointing us towards food [ or ] food service as ways that are driving the epidemic.

5. Christopher Moriates:

   Many times the assumption seems to be that these patients use their inhalers outside of the hospital so they already know how to do so, but this study and others have shown this is not true and the vast majority of these patients actively misuse their inhalers, the astonishing thing is these patients often spend a few days in the hospital, receiving respiratory therapies multiple times each day, so lack of effective inhaler teaching during hospitalization is a foolishly squandered golden opportunity.
