    Respiratory System in Humans
    • The human respiratory system is divisible into two portions:
      • Conducting Portion:
        • Nose 
        • Pharynx
        • Larynx
        • Trachea
        • Bronchi
        • Lobular and terminal bronchioles
      • Respiratory Portion:
        • Respiratory bronchioles
        • Alveolar ducts
        • Alveolar sacs and alveoli
    • There is a pair of external nostrils opening out above the upper lips. It leads to a nasal chamber through the nasal passage.
    • The nasal chamber opens into the pharynx.
    • The pharynx opens through the larynx region into the trachea.
    • The larynx is a cartilaginous box which helps in sound production and hence called the soundbox.Larynx is made up of 9 cartilages out of which three are paired and three are unpaired
    • During swallowing, glottis can be covered by a thin elastic cartilaginous flap called the epiglottis to prevent the entry of food into the larynx. 
    • The trachea is a straight tube extending up to the mid-thoracic cavity, which divides at the level of 5th thoracic vertebra into a right and left primary bronchi. 
    • Each bronchus undergoes repeated divisions to form the secondary and tertiary bronchi and bronchioles ending up in very thin terminal bronchioles.
    • The tracheae, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchi, and initial bronchioles are supported by incomplete cartilaginous rings. 
    • Each terminal bronchiole gives rise to a number of very thin, irregular-walled and vascularised bag-like structures called alveoli.
    • The branching network of bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli comprise the lungs.
