"Airway" in context
Airway is the system of passages through which air travels through the body. It consists of the nose and mouth, the pharynx, the trachea and the bronchi. The airway allows air to move through the body for gas exchange so that oxygen can be brought to the alveoli and carbon dioxide expelled. The airway is lined with a mucous membrane that is constantly secreting mucus, which traps pollutants and bacteria before they enter the body. The airway is moist and warm, which keeps the walls from drying out and allows the body to filter out contaminants.
