The structure of the upper respiratory tract consists of the nose, nasal cavity, nasal and paranasal sinuses, and the larynx and pharynx. The air enters the nose, and passes through the nasal cavities to the nasopharynx, which then joins to the oropharynx (rear of the mouth) above the larynx or voicebox.
trachea begins at vertebral level C5 (5th cervical vertebra) and ends just above the heart which is vertebral level T4/5 ( 4th/5th thoracic vertebrae)
