The main structures of the respiratory system are:

  • mouth
  • nose
  • pharynx (throat)
  • larynx (vocal cords)
  • trachea (windpipe)
  • bronchi (singular is bronchus; these are the two smaller tubes that are branches of the trachea)
  • bronchioles (even smaller tubes off of the bronchi)
  • lungs
  • alveoli (singular is alveolus; these are tiny sacs on the bronchioles that are surrounded by blood vessels that allow oxygen into the blood)
