Nose: nostrils brings air into the nose

Pharynx: is used for digestion and respiration

Alveoli - tiny structures that look like grape bunches, which hold air, allowing transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide - surrounded by capillaries

Larynx - the 'voice box' where the vocal chords are

Trachea: Is the passage that the air travels through down to the lungs

2015-04-28 16:43:55 UTC

Bronchial: smallest passage of the respiratory tract takes oxygen deeper into lungs

2015-04-28 16:44:27 UTC

Bronchioles - tiny passageways that lead air to alveoli

2015-04-28 16:44:28 UTC

2015-04-28 16:44:50 UTC

Wind pipe: Another passage that oxygen travels through to get to the lungs

2015-04-28 16:44:55 UTC

Bronchi - passageway from trachea into the lungs

2015-04-28 16:45:18 UTC

capillaries: tiny blood vessels that supply blood to alveoli and other parts of respiration system
