Sinuses
Sinuses are hollow spaces in the skull and
face bones that surround the nose. The
sinuses are a component of the nose and
respiratory system. They form a complex
network of air flow and drainage passages
that connect to your nasal passages. Air
moves through the sinus passages as you
breathe in through your nose and mouth.
Mucus is also produced by the sinuses, which

by determining what might be the
cause. Postnasal drip makes you feel
like you constantly want to clear your
throat. It also can trigger a cough,
which often gets worse at night. In
fact, postnasal drip is one of the most
common causes of a cough that just
won't go away. Too much mucus
may also make you feel hoarse and
give you a sore, scratchy throat.
White blood cells that fight infection
release chemicals during a cold that
cause the nasal mucosa to become
inflamed and cause nearby blood
vessels to enlarge, which causes
nasal congestion and rhinorrhea
(runny nose). The tear duct, which
transports tears from the eye to the
nose, will experience the same
process, clogging the duct and
causing tears to accumulate in the
eye. For this reason, when we are ill
with the flu or a cold, our eyes are
watery, teary, secreting, and
uncomfortable. In some cases, the
same virus responsible for the cold
can lead to the onset of
conjunctivitis, which consists of
inflammation of the conjunctiva, i.e.
the transparent membrane that covers
part of the eyeball and the inner
portion of the eyelids. Among its
main symptoms, there is the ocular
redness, itching and sensation of
 flow through your sinuses and drain into your
nose via tiny openings known as ostia (or
singular, ostium). Cilia, which are small
hairs, aid in the movement of mucus through
the sinus cavities. Sinus mucus drains into
your nasal passages and then down the back
of your throat, where it is swallowed. The
draining mucus keeps your nose moist while
also filtering out dust and bacteria.
Trachea
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is
the largest passageway in the respiratory
tract. It measures approximately 2.5 cm (1
in.) wide by 10-15 cm (4-6 in.) long. It is
made up of cartilage rings, which make it
relatively strong and resilient. The trachea
Trachea connects the larynx to the lungs, allowing air
to pass through the respiratory tract. At the
bottom, the trachea divides into two
bronchial tubes. The main function of the
trachea is to transport air into and out of your
lungs. It provides a reliable pathway for
oxygen to enter your body because it is a
stiff, flexible tube. The trachea acts as a
passage for air, moistening and warming it as
it passes into the lungs and protecting the
respiratory surface from foreign particle
accumulation. A moist mucous-membrane
layer composed of cells with small hair-like
projections called cilia lines the trachea.

Discuss the indication for the lab
exam
No laboratory results were provided.
Explain the significance of the
abnormal results
The different abnormal results are
significant because they are mainly
used in finding the specific condition
of the patient. The abnormal results
of these examinations are critical
because if the results are outside the
reference range or normal values, the
patient will most likely be subjected
to a second round of laboratory tests
to help determine or confirm the
specific cause condition. In this
manner, the healthcare professional
will be certain of the diagnosis and
will be able to determine the
appropriate treatment and
intervention for the specific patient.
These results will assist the health
care team in determining the correct
diagnosis or condition that
