Given the following structures:1. Alveoli2. Bronchi3. BronchiolesWhich of the following is a correct order in which air would flow after inhalation
A
1, 2, 3
B
2, 3, 1
C
2, 1, 3
D
3, 2, 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Air is inhaled through the mouth or the nose. The sequence of air passage during inhalation is as follows: Nostrils→pharynx→larynx→trachea→alveoli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pathway of air: nasal cavities (or oral cavity) > pharynx > trachea > primary bronchi (right & left) > secondary bronchi > tertiary bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli (site of gas exchange)

Detailed explanation-3: -Final step-Therefore, out of the given options, option Nostrils → Pharynx → Larynx → Trachea → Alveoli is the most appropriate option.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you breathe in (inhale), air containing oxygen enters your windpipe, passes through the bronchi and eventually reaches the air sacs. These air sacs, called alveoli, are responsible for gas exchange. They look a bit like grapes at the end of the bronchial branches.
