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.
Upon enter the body the air must past through the pharynx (throat). Then it must go through the epiglottis, then the larynx (voice box), the trachea (windpipe), the left/right bronchus and finally into the lungs.
Before air reaches the lungs, it passes through the mouth or nose. Then it goes into the pharynx and trachea. At the point where the trachea branch into the bronchi, the air is in the lungs.
the air goes through the pharnyx then the trachea and into the lungs
The main structures are...
... in that order, I took anatomy (:
The trachea, the bronchi, and the bronchus
It is the trachea that passes air to the lungs. Once air reaches the lungs, the oxygen in the air moves into the bloodstream to be circulated throughout the body.
To get to the lungs, air passes through the mouth or nose. Then it enters the pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
air pass into to structues
When air passes through your lungs it is called respiration.
The air that is inhaled passes through the throat. More specifically, it passes through the trachea on its way to the lungs.
the air goes through the pharnyx then the trachea and into the lungs
The trachea.
trachea
The tracchea runs down the neck and branches into the left and right lungs.
i think diaphragm helps in taking air out o f lungs
the trachea is the windpipe which passes air through to pipe into the lungs
Sinus cavity
the lungs
bronchi is a tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
The structure in the lungs that contains the thinnest epithelium is the alveoli. Alveoli are air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place.
