What Does URT Stand For?
URT stands for Upper Respiratory Tract
URT, or Upper Respiratory Tract, refers to the anatomical structures in the upper portion of the respiratory system, including the nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx, and larynx. This region is essential for filtering, warming, and humidifying the air we breathe, as well as playing a crucial role in voice production and protection against pathogens. The URT is commonly associated with various medical conditions, such as infections, allergies, and respiratory distress.
