The lungs
The nose, pharynx, and trachea are the parts of the upper airway. The tubes of the lungs comprise the lower airway.
The epiglottis is not considered an organ; it is a flap of tissue that sits at the base of the tongue and acts as a lid to cover the trachea during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway. It is part of the respiratory system.
The larynx is also known as the voice box, located in the throat at the top of the trachea. It plays a key role in producing sound for speech and protecting the airway during swallowing.
Your tongue cannot suffocate you in the traditional sense, as it is a muscular organ that does not obstruct the airway in a way that would prevent breathing. However, in certain situations, such as during a seizure or if someone is unconscious, the tongue can fall back and partially block the throat, potentially leading to airway obstruction. This is why it's important to position individuals correctly if they are at risk of losing consciousness.
Yes, the larynx is an organ, it is also part of the respiratory system.
No, the trachea is the airway between the mouth and the lungs. It is not an organ, just a passage by which air travels to the lungs. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachea
