    System parts
    The Nose and Nasal Cavity

    The nose is the outer part of the respiratory system. It is


    mostly made up of cartilage, which makes the nose
    flexible and strong. The nose has two openings called
    nostrils which lead to the nasal cavity.
    The Pharynx

    The pharynx is connected to both the nose and mouth, and acts
    as passageway for both air and food
    The Larynx
    The Larynx or the voice box it is found
    at the lower end of the pharynx. When
    you talk, the vocal cords in the larynx
    vibrate and sound is produced.
    The Trachea
    The Trachea, or windpipe, is a tube at the bottom of the larynx.
    It is lined with mucus that help prevent dust particles and other
    things from entering the lungs
    The Lungs
    The trachea divides into two branches, each
    entering a lung. These tubes are called bronchial
    tubes and they branch into even smaller tubes called
    bronchioles (singular,, bronchiole). At the end of
    each bronchiole is a bunch of tiny air sacs called
    alveoli(singular, alveoli).
    The lungs are enclosed in a coating pleura, which
    allows the lungs to slide freely as they expand and
    contract when you breathe. Below the lungs is a
    done-shaped muscle called the diaphragm.
    Breathing refers to the process of alternate inhaling
    and exhaling movements.
