In man and mammals, air passes from outside into the lungs through (a) nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, alveoli (b) nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchioles, alveoli (c) nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchioles, bronchi, alveoli (d) nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.
Option D Air passes from the external nares into the nasal cavity where the dust particles are trapped. From nasal cavity, the air moves into pharynx which is a short, vertical tube. It further leads into two tubes, trachea and oesophagus. Larynx is the upper part of trachea. Besides forming a part of the respiratory tract, it also serves as the voice box. Trachea is a thin walled tube that extends downward through the neck. It divides into two primary bronchi which on entering the lungs divide into fine branches called bronchioles which enter the alveoli. Exchange of gases occur in alveoli
