The air is moved around like an airplane during a turbulence to help clean it and warm it for the body.
When air passes through the respiratory system, it travels through the nose or mouth, down the trachea (windpipe), and into the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen from the air is absorbed into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
When you breathe you suck air from your mouth or nose!
Air passing through the nasal passageway during inhalation is filtered, warmed, and humidified. The nose hairs and mucus lining in the nasal passages trap particles and pathogens, while the air is moistened and heated to body temperature before entering the lungs.
Air passes through the trachea to reach the voice box (larynx).
Air first enters the body through the nose or mouth, then travels down the trachea into the bronchial tubes in the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is exchanged. Finally, the air exits the body through the same pathway but in reverse.
Air passes through your nose and mouth and into your windpipe, also known as the trachea, which carries the air to your lungs for breathing.
trachea
From the nose, air passes through the nasopharynx, which is the area behind the nose that leads to the throat. The nasopharynx plays a role in warming, moisturizing, and filtering the air we breathe before it enters the lower respiratory system.
It is filtered through the nose hairs.
throat, bronchies, lungs
From the nose, air passes through the nasal cavity, where it is warmed, moistened, and filtered. It then travels down the pharynx (throat) into the trachea (windpipe) and finally enters the lungs through the bronchial tubes.

No. It is warmed to near body temperature as it passes through the nose, throat, and bronchi.
Air passes from the environment into the nose/mouth, through the nasopharynx and oropharynx, into the glottis, trachea, bronchi and its bifurcations, and into the alveoli of the lungs.
A Bronchiolus is a respiratory bronchiole. They are the airways in which air passes through the nose or mouth. They help get air to the alveoli.
The air that enters the nose is the same that is found in our lower atmosphere: roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Once the air passes through the nostrils, some of the larger particles like dust and sand are filtered out before it gets to our lungs.
