respiratory
Significado: Relating to or affecting breathing or the organs and structures involved in breathing, such as the lungs and airways.
The respiratory system includes the nose, throat, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Respiratory conditions — such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia — are among the leading causes of illness worldwide. 'Respiratory' commonly collocates with 'infection,' 'failure,' 'tract,' 'disease,' and 'system.' The British pronunciation stresses the second syllable (reSPIRatory).
