WHAT DOES AIRWAY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

airway

Airway

The airway comprises those parts of the respiratory system through which air flows, from inhalation at the nose or mouth, to termination in the alveoli. It is generally used synonymously with respiratory tract. The airway is usually described as being divided into an upper and a lower airway, the division being marked by the larynx. From the mouth or nose, inhaled air passes through the pharynx into the trachea, where it separates into the left and right main bronchi at the carina, which is situated at the level of the second thoracic vertebra. The main bronchi then branch into large bronchioles, one for each lobe of the lung. Within the lobes, the bronchioles further subdivide some twenty times, ending in clusters of alveoli. The epithelial surfaces of the airway contain cilia. Inhaled particles adhere to mucus secreted by goblet cells, which is continuously driven outwards by the cilia. The epithelium of the airway also secretes a watery fluid upon which the mucus can ride freely. The production of this fluid is impaired by the disease cystic fibrosis.

Definition of airway in the English dictionary

The first definition of airway in the dictionary is an air route, esp one that is fully equipped with emergency landing fields, navigational aids, etc. Other definition of airway is a passage for ventilation, esp in a mine. Airway is also a passage down which air travels from the nose or mouth to the lungs.
