Nose -Inspiration and expiration usually occurs through the nose. The nose has main two functions: The cilia and hairs which line the nasal cavities trap dust and other foreign particles and the rich supply of blood surrounding the cavities warms the air before it enters the lungs.
Pharynx - allows for separation of food and air. The epiglottis closes the trachea when we eat and opens when we breathe.
Larynx - this structure sits on top of the trachea. Air rushing across two ligaments causes sounds that we shape into speech. Also called the voice box.
Trachea - Also called the windpipe Bronchi - the trachea branches into two forks each called a bronchi
Bronchioles - the smaller and smaller passageways that come off the bronchi
Alveoli - these are the small air sacs where actual gas exchange takes place.
