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.
The respiratory system consists of a pair of lungs and a trachea through which we draw in air. Air pressure of the atmosphere forces the air inside. For this to happen, the body must lower air pressure inside the chest cavity. It does this by expanding the cavity, using muscles in the rib cage and a special muscle called a diaphragm located under the lungs. When we breathe, the air is first drawn in through the mouth and nose. Moving downward, it goes through the pharynx (or the throat) and through the larynx (or the voice box). From there, it enters the main airway called the trachea. The trachea has rings of cartilage supporting it. The trachea branches off into two bronchi, one for each lung.
