air enters the mouth or nose into the nasal cavity, it passes the eppiglottis and larynx then it enters the trachea where it goes onto the bronchi which divide into bronchioles which divide into the Alveoli where gases co2 and o2 are echanged then back to the lungs and to the heart through the polmonary vein.

Block your nostrils/nares and mouth, or obstruct the trachea/windpipe. The nostrils/mouth are only ways in which your body takes in air and the trachea is the only passage that delivers air to the lungs. Therefore, blocking them would effectively cut off your air supply.

How does the Respiratory System works?
Respiratory system consists ofthe nasal passage ways where air is filtered and warmedthe pharynx, larynx , trachea, and bronchi for transport of air to the lungs' interiorlungs and alveoli where the exchange of gases with the bloodstream takes place
What are two ways to differentiate between the trachea and esophagus?
First, the trachea is part of the respiratory system while the esophagus is part of the digestive system of human and some of the animals. Second, the trachea is the tube in air-breathing vertibrates that conducts air from the throat to the bronchi. It is commonly called windpipe and is made up of numerous cartilaginous half rings which is adjacent to the esophagus. Lying in front of the esophagus. While esophagus, a mascular tube about 10 inches long passes behind the trachea and the heart. The passage down which food moves between the throat and the stomach. In short, trachea is where the air passes while esophagus is where the food passes.
How do lungs close up?
the lungs close up, which closes off the passage ways from the esophagus and the stomach and the lungs. the passage ways are divided by the esophageal sphinxter. which helps divide what objects go where, food goes down the esophagus into the stomach while air goes down the tubuals down into the lungs. if you have a disfunctional esophageal sphinxter you have a greater chance of getting often re-occurences of GERD otherwise known as Acid Reflux, which results in Stomach Acid occurring in the Tubes of your Esophagus.
