AB  - The  upper  airway  is  conventionally  described  as  being  made  up  of  all  the  structures  that  conduct  air  between  the  carina  and  the  nares  and  includes  the  trachea,  larynx,  pharynx,  nasal  airway,  and  oral  airway.  Upper  airway  structures  may  change  their  physiologic  function  in  response  to  pressures  around  them  and  anatomic  structures  near  them.  Thus,  physiologically,  the  segments  of  the  upper  airway  behave  differently  when  they  are  subject  to  pleural  pressures  (anatomically  intrathoracic)  or  ambient  pressures  (anatomically  extrathoracic).  Furthermore,  extrathoracic  airway  function  may  change  with  posture,  sleep/wake  state,  and  the  function  and  anatomy  of  tissues  surrounding  the  airway.
