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).
