Trachea

Pharynx

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the function of each structure listed in the options: Bronchioles, Alveoli, Trachea, and Pharynx.

Understand that the trachea is a tube-like structure that connects the larynx to the bronchi, allowing air passage to the lungs.

Recognize that bronchioles are smaller branches of the bronchi within the lungs, not directly connected to the larynx.

Note that alveoli are tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles where gas exchange occurs, not involved in conducting air from the larynx.

Acknowledge that the pharynx is a muscular tube that serves as a pathway for both air and food, located above the larynx, not directly conducting air to the bronchi.
