The respiratory system is made up of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Air enters through the nose and mouth, then passes through the pharynx and larynx into the trachea and bronchi. The bronchi divide into smaller branches called bronchioles that lead to tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and blood through thin membranes.
