When you exhale, air passes through the respiratory structures in which order?
Responses
A alveolus, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavityalveolus, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity
B alveolus, bronchus, bronchiole, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavityalveolus, bronchus, bronchiole, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity
C alveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavityalveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity
D alveolus, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity
C) alveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity
When you exhale, the flow of air goes in the reverse direction of inhalation, starting from the alveoli (where gas exchange occurs), moving through the bronchioles, then the larger bronchus (or bronchi, as there are two main bronchi), up the trachea (windpipe), through the larynx (voice box), into the pharynx (throat), and finally out through the nasal cavity or mouth.
