Question

Which is the order of airflow during inhalation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.

Explanation:

The air travels through the respiratory system during inhalation in the next order:

1. Nasal cavity: You inhale air into your nose.
2. Larynx: The air travels down to this organ, a hollow, tubular structure that plays a key role in phonation, respiration, and deglutition.
3. Trachea: (Or windpipe) is a wide, hollow and cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi.
4. Bronchi: The trachea divides into two primary bronchi; they are the main passageway into the lungs.
5. Bronchioles: The bronchi develop smaller the closer they get to the lung tissue and are then consider bronchioles.
6. Alveoli: They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles, which is the site of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the respiratory system.
