Cellular respiration
At the cellular level, O2 and CO2 exchange

Pharynx consists of three parts
nasopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharynx

pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)

Pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
otitis media
Otitis media is the presence of fluid, typically pus, in the middle ear with symptoms of pain, redness of the eardrum, and possible fever.

opening of auditory (pharyngotympanic) tubes

palatine tonsils

fauces
the arched opening at the back of the mouth leading to the pharynx.

anatomical dead space
Anatomic dead space is the total volume of the conducting airways from the nose or mouth down to the level of the terminal bronchioles, and is about 150 ml on the average in humans. The anatomic dead space fills with inspired air at the end of each inspiration, but this air is exhaled unchanged.
What is the mediastinum?
The area between the R & L thoracic pleural sacs
Lined by the mediastinal pleura
Contains all thoracic viscera except the lungs
