Where are the vocal chords situated?
The vocal cords, or vocal folds, are situated in the larynx, which is located in the throat, just above the trachea (windpipe). They are composed of multiple layers of tissue and are responsible for producing sound when air passes through them, causing them to vibrate. The larynx is also involved in protecting the airway during swallowing.

What is the path of air from the nose to the lungs?
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.

Why does a sheet of tissue paper rise when you blow air above the tissue paper?
Tissue paper is not very dense. I assume it is one piece and is on a flat surface. When blowing down straight and in the middle, air is able to move through the tissue paper because it is porous. You keep forcing air down and the molecules are bombarding each other and when completely through the tissue paper the fastest way to escape and allow the other molecules through is by escaping under the tissue paper and outwards. This is what lifts the tissue paper.
