The air you breathe in through your nose goes through your nostrils, pass something called turbinates (also called concha, which warm the air), then enter the nasopharynx, which is the area above your uvula (You can´t see it witout a proffessional mirror). Then it enters the oropharynx (the very back of your thoat) and from there it follows the same path as the air you breathe in through your mouth. Namely Larynx-->Trachea-->Bronchi--> Alveoli. From there the air diffuses into bloodvessels lining the alveoli.
