Q
Pulmonary System Pediatric Note
A
- Tongues make up more space in pharynx
- Trachea is narrower, softer, and flexible
- Cricoid cartilage is less developed and less rigid
- Rib cage does not narrow on inferior end, generating negative pressure is more difficult
- Trouble breathing rely more on diaphragm (seesaw breathing pattern)
