ANATOMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IN CHILDREN AND THEIR CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Abstract
This article reviews the anatomical and physiological features of the respiratory system in children and their clinical significance. The study highlights the unique traits of pediatric airways, alveolar development, and oxygen demand, emphasizing their role in disease susceptibility and management. It concludes that comprehensive understanding of these peculiarities is essential for effective pediatric care.Keywords
