NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. The respiratory system starts at the nose and mouth and continues through the airways and the lungs. Air enters the respiratory system through the nose and mouth and passes down the throat (pharynx) and through the voice box, or larynx. The entrance to the larynx is covered by a small flap of tissue (epiglottis) that automatically closes during swallowing, thus preventing food or drink from entering the airways.
Nose or mouth. The nose is the best route for air to get into the lungs, as it is a better filter than the mouth. The nose decreases the amount of irritants that reach the lungs, whilst also heating and adding moisture to the air. Mouth breathing is usually needed when exercising or when more air is needed, because the nose is not the most efficient way of getting large amounts of air into the lungs. Journey down the windpipe. After entering the nose or mouth, air travels down the trachea or windpipe. The trachea is the tube lying closest to the neck. Behind the trachea is the oesophagus or food tube. Air moves down the trachea when we inhale and food moves down the oesophagus when we eat. The path air and food take is controlled by the epiglottis, a gate that prevents food from entering the trachea.
