From the atmosphere, Starts in atmosphere, then nose, nasopharyngeal
what structures does air space/orophargyneal space (if mouth breather), then
pass through during pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

What is the purpose of the To warm/humidify air as it passes through
nasal passages and
nasopharynx?
Respiration refers to the exchange of gases in the

False: the lungs are hollow organs and contain no
True or false: the lungs muscles. When the diaphragm contracts it expands

atmosphere) and air rushes in.
True, when the lungs expand, they are creating a
