Nostrils or Nari (singular naris)
Air passes through your nose and mouth and into your windpipe, also known as the trachea, which carries the air to your lungs for breathing.
From the nose, air passes through the nasopharynx, which is the area behind the nose that leads to the throat. The nasopharynx plays a role in warming, moisturizing, and filtering the air we breathe before it enters the lower respiratory system.
Air enters through your nose or mouth to your air sacs.
Most breathing in healthy humans occurs through the nose. As air enters the nasal cavity, it is filtered of large debris by hairs lining the inside of the nose, and then further filtered through the nasal conchae, an area of folded, moist tissues; this also warms the air to near body temperature when it is cold.
Air inhaled through the mouth is not as clean as air inhaled through the nose. Reason for this is that when we inhale air through our nose than it get filtered by hair present in our nose. But air inhaled through our mouth goes directly in without any filtration.

throat, bronchies, lungs
When air passes through the respiratory system, it travels through the nose or mouth, down the trachea (windpipe), and into the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen from the air is absorbed into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
No. It is warmed to near body temperature as it passes through the nose, throat, and bronchi.
Air passes from the environment into the nose/mouth, through the nasopharynx and oropharynx, into the glottis, trachea, bronchi and its bifurcations, and into the alveoli of the lungs.
A Bronchiolus is a respiratory bronchiole. They are the airways in which air passes through the nose or mouth. They help get air to the alveoli.
The air that enters the nose is the same that is found in our lower atmosphere: roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Once the air passes through the nostrils, some of the larger particles like dust and sand are filtered out before it gets to our lungs.
When you breathe you suck air from your mouth or nose!
Yes it does. The nose is designed with conchae or turbinates that provide a pathway, meatus, that causes the air to touch the walls as it passes through. The nasal cavity is highly vascular, hence nose bleeds, that warm the air as it passes by.
your sense of taste is greatly affected by you nose because the air you breath through your nose passes over your tongue so you "taste" the air
