nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchi, and lungs

respiratory system functions

moves air in and out of lungs; provides for intake of oxygen, release of carbon dioxide, and air flow for speech; enables sense of smell

inhalation pathway

air containing oxygen enters the nose (or mouth); pharynx; larynx; trachea; bronchial tree; alveoli

exhalation pathway

air containing carbon dioxide leaves the alveoli; bronchial tree; trachea; larynx; pharynx; nose (or mouth)
