         • roof : ethmoid +sphenoid bones
         • floor: hard palate
         • medial wall: septum
         • lateral wall: medial orbit, maxillary sinuses,ethmoidal air cells
         • from nares to the nasopharynx
       • oral cavity
         • floor: tongue
         • roof : hard palate
         • from lips to the palatoglossal fold
     • Nasal sinuses
       • 2 frontal
       • 2 ethmoidal
       • 2 maxillary
       • single sphenoid
     • Pharynx
       • Nasopharynx
         • Extends from skull Base superiorly to the soft palate inferiorly
         • The nasopharyngeal tonsil lies in the roof
         • The pharyngeal opening of ET lies in the lateral wall
       • Oropharynx
         • From the soft palate superiorly to tip of epiglottis inferiorly
         • Communicates
           • Anteriorly with the oral cavity
           • Superiorly with the nasopharynx
           • Inferiorly with the hypopharynx
       • Laryngopharynx
         • From the tip of epiglottis superiorly to the lower border of cricoid cartilage Inferiorly
         • Communicates
           • Anteriorly with the Larynx
           • Superiorly with the oropharynx
           • Inferiorly with the esophagus
     • Larynx
       • A cartilaginous skeleton
       • Membranes and ligaments
       • Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
       • Mucosal lining
   • Lower Respiratory Tract
     • Trachea
     • Bronchial tree
     • Lung

2. Examination of Respiratory System

   • inspection : including looking for skin discoloration,cynosis ,Conjunctival pallor ,..etc
   • palpation: looking for swelling ,organomegaly,edema...etc
   • Auscultation: looking for abnormal sounds
   • percussion
