Parts of Respiratory System and its Functions

Nostrils (also known as external nares) are the parts of the

nose which facilitate the process of inhalation and
exhalation.

Pharynx is a tubular part of the respiratory system which

allows the passage of air into lungs.
Epiglottis - It is a flap-like structure (epiglottis) which
prevents food or water from entering the trachea at the
time of swallowing.

Larynx- It is a part of the respiratory system which

connects the trachea with laryngopharynx. The larynx
controls the flow of air at the time of breathing.

The trachea, also known as windpipe, extends from

larynx to bronchi. In fact, the trachea gets branched
into bronchi. It facilitates the flow of air towards the
bronchi.

Bronchus (singular of bronchi) is a passage which

allows the flow of air into lungs. The bronchi extend
from trachea to the lungs.

Human lungs are conical organs present inside the

pleural cavities. They carry out the work of supplying
the body with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
The alveoli are sac-shaped bodies present
inside the lungs, at the tip of alveolar ducts. The
alveoli function like an interface for the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
between lungs and capillaries.
