上气道分析的研究进展

Research progress of upper airway studies

气道即呼吸的通道,也是生命的要道,是由软硬组织组成的筋膜管,为颅颌面的重要解剖结构,它在呼吸、发音和吞咽等生理功能中扮演重要角色。近来人们还发现,上气道与特定的错畸形有着密切关系。该文将从上气道的分析方法、研究手段、影响因素等方面的研究进展进行综述。

Airway,through which we breathe,is an essential fascial tube built by soft and hard tissue. As an important craniofacial structure,airway plays a key role in breathing,pronouncing and swallowing. So far,it＇s been discovered that the upper airway is closely linked with some certain types of malocclusion. This paper will review studies of the upper airway in its analytical methods,study approaches,influencing factors,and etc.
