The Journey of Air Through the Respiratory System

The Journey of Air Through the Respiratory System

The map in words

  • Air enters through Nostrils
    • Filtered and warmed in Nasal Chamber
      • Passes through Pharynx
        • Enters Larynx
          • Travels down Trachea
            • Divides into Right and Left Bronchi
              • Further divides into Bronchioles
                • Reaches Alveoli
                  • Gas Exchange: O2 in, CO2 out
                    • O2 goes to Blood
                      • Waste CO2 travels back
                        • Exits through same pathway
                          • Exhaled from nostrils

Air Pathway Through Respiratory System

Air Pathway Through Respiratory System

The map in words

  • Nostrils and Nasal Chamber
    • Filter, Warm, Moisten: Pharynx Common passage
      • Air passage: Larynx Voice box with vocal cords
        • Protected by epiglottis: Trachea Windpipe with cartilage rings
          • Splits into two: Left Bronchus
            • Divides into branches: Bronchioles Smaller tubes
              • Opens into: Alveoli Air sacs with capillaries
                • O2 diffuses in CO2 diffuses out: Gas Exchange into Blood
                  • Oxygen-rich blood: Distribution to Body
                  • Carbon dioxide: Exhaled through reverse path
          • Splits into two: Right Bronchus
            • Divides into branches: Bronchioles Smaller tubes
