How Does the Equine Respiratory System Work?
There are entire text books dedicated to the topic of the equine
respiratory system. So, to start, we are going to try to discuss the
main structures and briefly discuss the most common clinical
manifestations of the respiratory system. Although very basic, it is
necessary to keep in mind that the main function of the airway
system is to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the
blood.
Anatomically, the horse’s respiratory tract is divided into the upper
respiratory tract (URT) and the lower respiratory tract (LRT). The
upper respiratory tract includes the nostrils, nasal passages, pharynx,
larynx and trachea. The lower respiratory tract includes the
structures, which lie within the chest, the bronchi, bronchioles and
aveoli in the lungs
