This comprehensive overview of the respiratory system describes how air enters the body through the nasal passages or mouth, passing through the pharynx. It highlights the importance of breathing for gas exchange between animals and their environment, emphasizing that physical activity increases carbon dioxide production. The discussion extends to clinical practice, focusing on pneumonia, a condition characterized by lung inflammation that causes increased respiratory rate and effort. Understand the vital role of the respiratory system in health and disease management.

Respiratory • Anatomy enters the animal through the nasal passages or mouth. • Air enters through the pharynx
Breathing Mechanism • Breathing allows air to be exchanged between animals and the environment • When a animal is active the muscles produce more carbon dioxide
Clinical Practice • Pneumonia results from inflammation in the lungs, which is breathes faster and harder
