The throat begins behind the mouth and nose. The throat connects the mouth and nose with the windpipe (trachea) and gullet (oesophagus). The lungs are on the left and right side of the ribcage. They are also connected to the nose and mouth via the bronchial tubes and windpipe (trachea).
The sample of the examined fluid normally only contains a certain amount of different substances. These substances include certain cells and certain proteins, for example.
In your sample, the amount of a certain messenger substance had changed. Messenger substances regulate many functions in the body. Messenger substances are also called hormones.
If the amount of substances in the sample has changed, this can sometimes be an indication of disease. The results can also depend on when the sample is taken or how the sample is stored until it is examined, for example.
