The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air we breathe and releases harmful carbon dioxide. The lungs are the respiratory system’s primary organ. Additional respiratory organs include the nose, the trachea, and the breathing…
What is a Thoracic Spine Examination? The thoracic spine examination assesses mobility, stability, and potential dysfunctions in the mid-back region. It includes inspection, palpation, range of motion testing, and special tests to evaluate posture, joint restrictions, and muscular imbalances.

It helps create the orbits, nasal cavity, and oral cavity, the three chambers of the skull. The maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid, inferior nasal concha, and vomer are the five bones it articulates with to do…
