AIRWAY
An airway is a passageway through which air flows in and out of the lungs. The airway system includes the nose, mouth, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), and the bronchial tubes (bronchi) that lead into the lungs. The primary function of the airway is to supply oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism. The airway is also an important component of the body's defense against foreign particles, such as dust, allergens, and microbes, which can cause inflammation and infection. The lining of the airway contains specialized cells and mucus that trap these particles and prevent them from reaching the lungs.

Airway obstruction, which can occur due to various reasons such as inflammation, swelling, foreign objects, or tumors, can result in difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Common conditions that affect the airway include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and bronchitis. Treatment for airway obstruction typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as using bronchodilators or anti-inflammatory medications for asthma, or antibiotics for infections. In severe cases, mechanical ventilation or surgery may be necessary to open up the airway and restore normal breathing.

AIRWAY = The passage or route through which air flows during respiration, including the nasal and oral cavities, throat, and lungs.
