• Inhalation

• Exhalation

Accessory muscles for breathing are the:

• of the relaxation of the diaphragm

• of the reduction of the thoracic cavity

Air enters the respiratory system through the:

• Mouth

• Nostrils

• Pharynx

• Glottis

What structures fill the nasal cavities?

• Sinuses

• Nasal Turbinates

• Uvula

• Nasal Phalanges

The impulses to breathe come from the:
