Then it enters wind pipe to bronchi to bronchi-oles to alveoli.
Alveoli are the terminal units of the lungs.

What organs does air pass through when it enters your body?
Here's the simplified version: -Nose -Trachea -Bronchi -Broncheoli -Aveoli Here's the more complex one: -Nose -Nasal cavity -Pharynx -Epiglottis -Glottis -Larynx -Trachea -Bronchi -Boncheoli -Aveoli Or the middle version between those: -Nose -Pharynx -Trachea -Bronchi
What are the factions of the nasal septum?
The nasal septum has three functions: to support the nose, to regulate air flow, and to support the mucous membranes (mucosa) of the nose.
What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
What structures warm moisten filter air?
Nasal cavity mucosa... as air passes thru the nasal cavity, it's warmed, moistened, and filtered by the nasal cavity mucosa. The air that flows directly beneath the superior part of the nasal cavity may stimulate the olfactory receptors in the mucosa region.
What is the primary function of the aveoli?
The alveoli are the site of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange between the air and the blood.
What absorbes oxygen from the air?
the aveoli in the Lungs
Why is mouth breathing in cold temperature detrimental?
Because the nasal passages warm the air passing over them and this warm air facilitates gas exchange in the aveoli plus the warm air does not damage delicate lung tissues as cold air can do.

Is the aveoli an organ?
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.

The nasal septum has three functions: to support the nose, to regulate air flow, and to support the mucous membranes (mucosa) of the nose.
What is the microscopic air sacs called?
aveoli
Does the air exchange happen in the bronchioles?
no, in the aveoli
What is the medical term meaning air-filled cavities in the bones around the nose?
The medical term is "paranasal sinuses." These are air-filled cavities located within the bones surrounding the nasal cavity. They are important for natural drainage and humidifying the air we breathe.
Air in aveoli has high concentration of what after inhalation?
oxygen
Can a person be able 2 sleep upright in zero gravity?
No because gravity allows your nasal air passages to flow normally but with none your lungs will not flow air properly lying down
What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
What cause distruction to aveoli?
Aveoli can be damaged by obsessive smoking and general air pollution from burning fossil fuels (Such as coal). When aveoli is damaged, it loses surface area and therefore you cannot absorb enough oxygen to keep yourself healthy.
