It functions to funnel the inhaled air into the lungs, while also facilitating the removal of inhaled air out of the lungs
Trachea
1 of 5
These are smaller passages where air enters the lungs from the trachea
Bronchi
2 of 5
The bronchi further divide into smaller, and smaller passages
Bronchioles
3 of 5
Lung volume increases, rib cage expands, diaphragm contracts (moves down) and the air pressure decreases
Inhalation
4 of 5
Lung volume decreases, rib cage retracts, diaphragm relaxes (moves up) and air pressure increases
Exhalation
