Your trachea, mouth and nose allow air to enter your body. They both filter the air. The nose filters the air by the cilia, and the mouth by mucus. Those help because they catch the dirt from the air and prevent it from going into your lungs. The air gets warmed by your nasal cavity into the trachea. Your epiglottis stops air going into your stomach. Your lungs are near your heart, and after air goes through your trachea, it goes in your bronchial tubes, which let air into your lungs Your bronchial tubes branch through your lungs. Alveoli are the little air sacs at the end of your bronchial tubes where air enters.
How are the bronchial tubes and the trachea similar?
The trachea contains cartilage rings and mucous glands. The bronchioles contain no cartilage and no mucous glands. Bronchioles contain Clara cells (that the trachea does not). Respiratory bronchioles contain alveoli, which are very thin-walled blind ending sacs where gas exchange occurs - these are not present in the trachea.
