Air enters the body through the nose or mouth, which are connected through the nasal and oral cavities to the pharynx, through which air passes to the larynx and food to the esophagus. Air passes through the larynx (the voicebox), and then to the trachea, the "windpipe". The main brochial passageways (bronchi) subdivide in the lungs into smaller and smaller airways, and finally to the individual air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen enters the bloodstream.

∙ 15y agoAir goes into the lungs and inflates tiny airsacs called alveoli. It is then pushed out by a muscle called the diaphragm. while in the alveoli, the oxygen in the air is exchanged for carbon dioxide. Blood containing red blood cells surround the alveoli and facilitate the exchange. We breathe in 21% oxygen and breathe out 16%. Pat Williams

∙ 11y agoTo breathe, air can enter through the mouth or nose.
Depending on how it enters initially, the air will either pass through the nasopharynx, or the oral pharynx. It passes the glottis, and enters the trachea. Then into the lungs, the left or right bronchi and gets processed.

How does air travel when you inhale?
It travels down the trachea to your lungs.
What body part let's out air?
Your lungs lets out air and it travels through your nose
What path is taken by air when is trevels from nostrils to the lungs in human beings?
The path taken by air when it travels from nostrils to the lungs are as fallows...1.The Trachea (wind pipe)2.The two Bronchial tubes (one to each end)3.The Bronchi-oles, the lungs*Some sources include the larynx as part of the lower respiratory tract, whereas others include it in the upper respiratory tract [which also comprises the nasal cavity (nose) and the pharynx]*Between them, the upper and lower respiratory tracts make up the whole respiratory system. And the the air travels from nostrils to the lungs.
Air enters through the mouth or nose and travels through the?
Lungs
Where do deer get air?
The deer most likely use their mouth or nose. They then expand their chest or lungs to withdraw the air from the atmosphere. The air then travels though the mouth or nose into the lungs.
How would you describe the behavior of light as it travels from the container to the air or as it travels in different media?
Light always takes the shortest path possible through any medium. As such, when it travels through a vacuum, it travels in a straight line (no refraction). When it travels through the air, the molecules in the air scatter it very slightly, causing some diffusion and refraction, depending on the composition of the air through which it passes. When it travels through water, the shortest path through that medium is not a straight, collinear line from the point of incidence...it is actually offset by a small angle (the angle of refraction). The bent path that light takes through water or another substance is actually the shortest path available to it through that medium.
What carries air from nose to lungs?
nothing carries it, it travels down your trachea or wind pipe
The air travels through a system of organs called what?
well it goes through your lungs lol---------------------------------------Respiratory System.Mouth, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs
What carries air in and out of the lungs?
Absolutly nothing. Air TRAVELS to your lungs. Nothing makes it go to your lungs.
When does the blood flow to the the lungs and from the lungs?
# Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels to and from tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. Once blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called the pulmonary circulation. From your pulmonic valve, blood travels to the pulmonary artery to tiny capillary vessels in the lungs. Here, oxygen travels from the tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, passes from the blood into the air sacs. Carbon dioxide leaves the body when you exhale. Once the blood is purified and oxygenated, it travels back to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.
How does an oxygen molecule get into a red blood cell from the air you breathe?
Ossomosis. The blood travels near the lungs then Oxygen travels from the lungs to the blood. More->Less And the previous blood, does the same with CO2 More->Less.
Is pulmonary circulation the path of blood as it travels from the heart to the lungs?
Yes, and back again, having picked up oxygen and dumped CO2.
