What is the path of air as you inhale?

Answer 1

In through the Nostrils into the the nasal cavity where it is heated, humidified and gains turbulance thanks to the concha. The air then moves down through nasopharynx then the laryngeopharynx, through the larynx ant into the Trachea. The trachea runs down the middle of the thorax intill it Bifrucates (splits into two) at the level of T4 to form the two Bronchi. The bronchi go left and right (one into each lung) where the too separate to borm bronioles, which keep branching out until they reach the alveoli. The alveoli are structures that look like bunches of grapes, each grape is called an air sac. As the air leaves it takes the same route in reverse.

Simplified Answer:

Air rich in oxygen enters the nostrils or the mouth. It then passes through the pharynx and then the larynx. Then air goes through the trachea. from there it goes to each bronchi and which branches into bronchiole. From there, it goes the air sacs or alveoli of the lungs.

Notes: Mucus in the nostrils warms, moistens and cleans air so it is better to breathe through your nose!

Answer 2

Well... When you breathe in, oxygen fills your lungs. It travels through your esophagus into your air passage ways to give oxygen to the lungs. Then as you exhale, you breathe out carbon dioxide.

Answer 3

As you inhale, air enters through your nose or mouth, travels down your trachea, passes through the bronchial tubes in your lungs, and finally reaches the alveoli where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in your bloodstream.

Answer 4

In your mouth/nose.. into your lungs.. back out of your lungs exiting you mouth/nose again...

And if your lucking sometimes it passes through your bum hole. :)

Answer 5

either nose or mouth
