Pathway of Air:

Mouth or nose (hairs act as a filter) ------> Pharynx (shared by digestive and respiratory systems) -------> Larynx (contains vocal cords - voice box) -------> Trachea (mucus elevator) ------> Bronchi (one bronchus to each lung) -------> Bronchioles (million per lung) ------> Alveoli (clusters of tiny air sacs).

Composition of : Atmospheric air: Exhaled air: 21% - Oxygen 16% - Oxygen .04% - CO2 4.4% - CO2 79% - Nitrogen 79% - Nitrogen
