Alveoli
Air sacs at the smallest subdivision of the bronchial tree; O2 and CO2 are are exchanged through the alveolar walls and the capillaries that surround them.
Bronchus
One of two branches from the trachea that conducts air into the lungs, where it divides and subdivides
Larynx
Location of the vocal cords
Lungs
Two spongelike organs in the thoracic cavity
Nose
Lined with mucous membranes and fine hairs; acts as filter to moisten and warm air
Pharynx
Serves as food and air passageway
Sinuses
Air cavities within the cranial bones; lining in the air cavities produces mucus which drains into nasal passages
Trachea
Passageway for air to the bronchi
Thorax
Chest; part of the body between the neck and the diaphragm encased by ribs
