Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the anatomy of the respiratory system, which is responsible for the flow of air from the external environment to the lungs.
Identify the starting point of air entry, which is the nose. The nose is responsible for filtering, warming, and humidifying the air.
Next, air passes through the pharynx, a muscular tube that serves as a pathway for both air and food. It connects the nasal cavity to the larynx.
The air then moves to the larynx, also known as the voice box, which is located at the top of the trachea. It plays a role in sound production and protects the trachea against food aspiration.
From the larynx, air travels down the trachea, a tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi. The trachea splits into the left and right bronchi, which lead to each lung. The bronchi further divide into smaller bronchioles, and finally, air reaches the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
