Respiratory System

Hey Scarlett, Maya, and Benjamin! Can you help me understand the Nasal Cavity? Is it:

• Two nostrils that are openings through which air can enter and leave?

• A hollow space located right behind our nose?

Hey Noah, Aria, and Anika! Can you help us understand what a Pharynx is?

• It's a super cool passageway for food moving from the oral cavity to the esophagus and for air passing between the nasal cavity and the larynx.

• Is it an enlargement in the airway at the top of the trachea and below the oropharynx?

Hey Olivia, Isla, and Maya! Can you help us understand what Paranasal Sinuses are?

• Is it a structure that usually stands upright and allows air to enter the larynx?

• Or, are they air-filled spaces within the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary bones of the skull that open into the nasal cavity?

Hey Evelyn, Grace, and Liam, can you help us define what a Nose is?

• Is it a hollow space behind the nose?

• Or, is it two nostrils through which air can enter and leave the nasal cavity?

Hey Lily, Anika, and Avery! Can you help us understand what a Larynx is?

• Is it an enlargement in the airway at the top of the trachea and below the oropharynx?

• Or is it a passageway for food moving from the oral cavity to the esophagus and for air passing between the nasal cavity and the larynx?

Evelyn, Liam, and Jackson are on a quest to understand the human body. They come across a term 'Epiglottis'. Can you help them define it?

• Is it air-filled spaces within frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary bones of the skull that open into the nasal cavity?

• Or is it a structure that usually stands upright and allows air to enter the larynx?

Sophia, Isla, and Abigail are on a quest to understand the human body! Can you help them define what lungs are?

• Are they soft, spongy, cone-shaped organs in the thoracic cavity?

• Or are they a flexible cylindrical tube about 2.5 centimeters in diameter and 12.5 centimeters in length, also known as the windpipe?

Ethan, Abigail, and Aiden are on a quest to understand the human body. They come across a term 'Upper Respiratory Tract'. Can you help them understand what it is?

• It includes the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs.

• It includes the nose, nasal cavity, paran sinuses, and pharynx.

Evelyn, Anika, and Nora are on a quest to understand the human body. They come across a term 'Lower Respiratory Tract'. Can you help them understand what it includes?

• It includes the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs.

• It includes the nose, nasal cavity, paran sinuses, and pharynx.

Imagine Henry, Abigail, and Daniel are on a science adventure. They come across a flexible cylindrical tube about 2.5 centimeters in diameter and 12.5 centimeters in length. Can you guess what they found?

• They found a Trachea, also known as a windpipe.

• They found Lungs, soft, spongy, cone-shaped organs in the thoracic cavity.
