The parts of the respiratory system that allows air to enter the body are ____
A
Heart and Brain
B
Diaphragm & lung
C
Lung and Alveoli
D
Nose and Mouth
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pharynx (throat): Tube that delivers air from your mouth and nose to the trachea (windpipe). Trachea: Passage connecting your throat and lungs. Bronchial tubes: Tubes at the bottom of your windpipe that connect into each lung. Lungs: Two organs that remove oxygen from the air and pass it into your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Air enters your body through your nose or mouth. Air then travels down the throat through the larynx and trachea. Air goes into the lungs through tubes called main-stem bronchi.

Detailed explanation-3: -The TRACHEA (windpipe) is the passage leading from your pharynx to the lungs. The RIBS are bones supporting and protecting your chest cavity. They move a small amount and help the lungs to expand and contract. The trachea divides into the two main BRONCHI (tubes), one for each lung.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nasal cavity and mouth join at the area in the back of the throat called the pharynx (FAR-inks). The pharynx is part of two body systems (the respiratory system and the digestive system) because it carries both air and food. At the bottom of the pharynx, two pipes split off-one for air and one for food.
