To enter theair sacsof the lungs, air journeys through a series of passages: nose,nasopharynx,oropharynx, laryngealpharynx,larynx, trachea, bronchi, andbronchioles. Disease and dysfunction can affect any of these segments and cause abnormal breathing patterns, and it is important to recognize and ...
