When performing artificial respiration How do you know if air is entering their lungs?

What parts of the respiratory system would need to be blocked to not allow any air into this system?

Additionally, blockage of the bronchial tubes leading into the lungs would also prevent air from entering the respiratory system.

Why must your seal an open chest wound?

What passages does the air get warmed and cleaned?
Air gets warmed and cleaned as it passes through the nasal cavity, where it is humidified, filtered, and warmed by the mucus and tiny hairs called cilia. Additionally, the air is further warmed and cleaned in the trachea and bronchi by the same mechanisms of mucus and cilia before reaching the lungs.
How does air moves in and out the lungs?
It is called breathing. Breathing is the movement of the chest that brings air into the lungs and removes waste gases. The air entering the lungs contain oxygen. It passes from the lungs into the circulatory system because there is less oxygen in blood when it enters the lungs than in the cells of the lungs.
