The two openings of the nose are called the -
nodules
vestibules
nares
olfactory opening
The roof of the nasal cavity is the olfactory region which is lined with ______________ which allow you to smell things.
olfactory nares
olfactory receptors
olfactory stimulants
olfactory cavities
Three uneven scroll like bones extend down the nasal cavity to increase the turbulence of airflow in the nasal passage. This allows more particles to be trapped in the mucous membrane lining
nares
conchae
palate
sinuses
This structure separates the nasal cavity from the mouth. It is commonly called the roof of the mouth.
nares
conchae

sinuses
These are air filled cavities that surround the nose that warm and moisten inspired air and amplify the tone of the voice.
conchae

pharynx
A muscular passageway that transport air, food, or liquid from the nasal cavity or oral cavities to the trachea and esophagus.

Structure #2 also called "the windpipe" is lined with mucous membranes that have cilia that try to sweep particles out of the system.

The Bronchi subdivide into smaller Y-shaped thin walled branches (Area #6 ). The smallest conducting passageways of the bronchi.
trachea
primary bronchi
secondary bronchi
bronchioles
Are grape like air sacs at the end of the bronchioles where gas is exchanged with the capillaries.
alveoli
surfactant
bronchiole
gas bubbles
The area of the thoracic cavity between the lungs houses the heart, trachea, and other structures. (Area #2)
percolator
respiratory foramen
mediastinum
diaphragm
Small openings in the alveoli walls that allows gas and the macrophages to travel between each grape-like cluster are called
alveoli
