When air passes out of the lungs it is inspiration?
When air passes through your lungs it is called respiration.
How does air change before it reaches the lungs?
Oxygen passes through the lining of the lungs and into the blood. Carbon dioxide passes from the blood out into the air in the lungs. The blood flows near the surface of the lining in structures called capillaries, which are composed of tissue thin enough to allow this O2/CO2 transfer.
What structure passes air to the lungs?
Air passes through: 1. Nose or Mouth 2. Nasal cavity 3. Pharynx 4. Larynx 5. Trachea (in throat) 6. Bronchus (in chest) 7. Bronchioles (finer tubes inside lungs) into the alveoli (tiny pockets inside lungs). The o2/co2 exchange occurs in the alveoli where they interface with capillaries. Hope this helps.

oxygen
What is function of the The nose?
Assuming you mean nostrils - they are the opening that leads to the lungs. As humans - we're supposed to inhale through our nose - as the tiny hairs in the nostrils trap dust etc before it reaches the lungs.
If blood takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs the blood passes through what?
The blood passes through tiny capillaries that lie in close proximity to the alveoli in the lungs. This is where the gas exchange takes place.
What is the function of nose trils?
