Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Air enters the respiratory system through the nose and mouth and passes down the throat (pharynx) and through the voice box, or larynx. The entrance to the larynx is covered by a small flap of tissue, the epiglottis, that automatically closes during swallowing, thus preventing food or drink from entering the airways.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: atmosphere→ nasal cavity→ pharynx→ glottis→ larynx→ trachea→ bronchus→ bronchi→ bronchioles → alveoli→ alveolar ducts. Hope this helped .
