As you inhale air, it travels down the windpipe, known scientifically as the trachea. Once through the trachea, the air divides and goes into two tubes, each called a bronchus (plural bronchi). The right bronchus brings air into the right lung, the left bronchus brings air to the left lung. Inside each lung there are bronchioles, which are tubes (smaller than that of the bronchi) which bring air to little air sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs within capillaries.

Breathing in humans involves the inhalation of oxygen-rich air into the lungs through the nose or mouth. The diaphragm and intercostal muscles expand the chest cavity to create negative pressure, drawing air into the lungs. During exhalation, these muscles relax, causing the chest cavity to decrease in size and expel carbon dioxide-rich air from the lungs.
