The respiratory system consists of the structures that ensure the supply of atmospheric O2 and the excretion of CO2.Clinical: The colour of the skin and of the nails provides information about the \respiratory system. The skin and the nails are normally pink. Cyanosis c\an occur in cases of respiratory failure or airway obstruction, for example.1. Pharynx2. Epiglottis3. Larynx4. Trachea5. Apex6.
