Air is inhaled through the nose (nasopharynx) or mouth (oropharanx) and travels down the pharynx past the epiglotis and into the larynx. Then down into the Trachea where it meets the Carina and goes either right or left into the Broncus. Then down to the Bronchi and finally the alveoli where gas exchange takes place with the pulmonary capilaries.
