What is one of the two places where air enters your body?

Air enters through your nose or mouth to your air sacs.


Why is it bad to breathe through your mouth for too long?

Because there is no hair or mucus (I know it's gross if you imagine it) to block out dirt in the air that we breathe in. Whereas in the nose, there are. And the air we breathe in through the mouth will go down to our throat and cause our throat to be dry and we will develop cough or flu (maybe).


What is the path of air as you inhale?

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!


What is the function of the hairs in the nose?

It keeps most inhaled dust stuck in your nose so it doesn't get into your body. The nasal hair traps foreign objects and stops them from reaching your throat where they can be absorbed and can make you sick. For example breathing in mold spores. When you breathe through your mouth they go straight into your body, but breathing through your nose can trap the spores which you will later sneeze out. A 'booger" or 'bogey' is a collection of objects that have been caught in your nose hairs and are then covered with your bodies own protective snot-like substance. That's why it's bad to eat your boogers/bogeys.
