Pancreas-specific lipase is measured with a test called Feline Pancreatic Lipase Immunoreactivity, known simply as fPLI. The test requires only a simple blood test. A fasting sample is preferred, but it is not essential for the accuracy of the test. Does the sample have to be sent away to a diagnostic laboratory?
A: The trachea is the tube in the throat that connects the mouth and nose to the lungs. It is also called a windpipe, and its function is to transport the air a person breathes in through his nose or mouth into the lungs. Without the trachea, the lungs do not receive oxygen, and humans cannot survive.
What is the structure difference of the esophagus and trachea? The esophagus is a smooth tube that when we eat food goes trough the esophagus to the stomach. The trachea (windpipe) is made of cartilaginous rings that when we inhale/exhaleâ¦ air (breath in and out) it goes to the lungs. So if food goes accidentally to your trachea, you choke.
