Air enters the the respiratory tract through either the nose or mouth.
Pollutants in the air, inhaling smoke from cigarettes, etc are harmful to the respiratory system.
Air enters the body when you inhale (Breathe in) air enters through the mouth and into the lungs. and then exhale (Breathe out) carbon dioxide (CO2)
the air that enters the respiratory tract remaining in the conducting zone pasageways and never reaches the alveoli.
The air entering your lungs should be at 100% humidity (at body temperature), (Your nose is designed to take care of that.) If not, then the respiratory tissues (closest to your mouth & nose) will be dried out - and they can't function if desiccated. Thus, a part of your respiratory system will be non-functional.
It happens to keep the respiratory system clean.

The respiratory system absorbs oxygen. Oxygen is inhaled through the nose and mouth, passes through the trachea, and enters the lungs where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through tiny air sacs called alveoli.
Mucus in the nose helps trap particles entering the respiratory system. The hairs/cilia of the respiratory system also filter incoming air.
The overall function of the respiratory system is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment. This process involves breathing in oxygen-rich air, transferring oxygen to the bloodstream, and removing carbon dioxide from the body. The respiratory system also helps regulate the body's pH balance and plays a role in vocalization.
All the cells in your body require oxygen
Air moves in and out of the external nares, also known as the nostrils. During inhalation, air enters the respiratory system through the external nares, where it is filtered, humidified, and warmed before reaching the lungs. During exhalation, air exits the respiratory system through the same external nares.
The respiratory system of a butterfly is open, and air enters their bodies via a small opening called a spiracle.
The oral cavity is bordered by the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and oropharynx. It is the opening through which food enters the digestive system and air passes into the respiratory system.
Bronchioles are part of the respiratory system and branch from the bronchus. Air from the bronchus enters the terminal bronchioles that terminate in air sacs known as alveoli.
When a bird inhales, air first enters through the nostrils located at the base of its beak. The nostrils lead to the bird's respiratory system, where the air is then taken in through the trachea into the lungs for the exchange of gases to occur.
