Well, the lungs do the actual "sucking". However, the air enters through the external nares (nostrils) of the nose, the nasal cavity, pharynx (throat) and trachea (windpipe) before reaching the bronchi.

What sucks in air to pass through the bronchi?
The lungs expand drawing in air through the mouth or the nose.
What does air pass through after the trachea?
After the trachea, air goes into the primary bronchi, then interpulmonary bronchi, then bronchioles, then terminal bronchioles, then into the alveoli.
How does oxygen pass from the atmosphere in the alveoli to the blood stream?
Basiclly,The air enters the lungs by traveling down the wind pipe and it goes down the bronchi and bronchioles and into the alveoli.The Alveoli let the oxygen (from the air) pass into the blood streem by leting it pass through a thin membrane.
Air travels down the trachea to the what?
the air then flows into the primary bronchi.
Which structures bring oxygen from the trachea to the lungs?
Trachea divides in 2 bronchi which conducte air into the lungs (inside the lungs each bronchi divides in many smaller branchs only studied in college)
What are the names of the tubes that air travels down to get to the lungs (in order from biggest to smallest)?
Trachea, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli!
What do you use to suck in air and pass down into the bronchi?
The Pharynx. You've got the pharynx that runs from your nose down towards to the esophagus. Somewhere towards the end of the pharynx is the larynx, aka the windpipe. This is where the air enters to go into your lungs and the bronchi, it is also where the vocal chords are contained. There is a small covering to prevent food from going down your larynx however it is no always preventable, like when people say 'it went down the wrong pipe'. This pressure difference, and the forcing movement of the lungs creates the actual intake of air into the mouth/nose, through the pharynx, larynx, and into the bronchi.
What are Tube that transport air to the bronchi?
The Trachea transports air to the bronchi, which transfer air to the brochioles.
Bronchi plits into airsacs?
No, bronchi splits into secondary and tertiary bronchi . Which in terminal Bronchi. And which in air sacs.
What structures does air pass through as it travels to the lungs?
The nose, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi.
What do air tubes do in the respiratory system?
Starting from the left and right bronchi, bronchus for singular, these branch down from the trachea. Then the bronchi branch off to smaller bronchi and these branch off to bronchioles. The bronchioles contain air sacs at the end called alveoli and alveolus for singular.
What moves air from the nose to the bronchi?
The vacuum created by down-ward movement of the diaphram.
