Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the Respiratory System collects air from the environment & heats/moistens the air before entering the body?
A
lungs
B
nose
C
heart
D
brain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Breathing in through the nose warms and humidifies the air that is breathed in. Nose hairs help to trap any particles of dust. The warmed air enters the lungs through the windpipe, or trachea.

Detailed explanation-2: -The THROAT collects incoming air from your nose and mouth then passes it down to the windpipe (trachea). The WINDPIPE (trachea) is the passage leading from your throat to your lungs. The windpipe divides into the two main BRONCHIAL TUBES, one for each lung, which divides again into each lobe of your lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mucus traps smaller particles like pollen or smoke. Hairlike structures called cilia line the mucous membrane and move the particles trapped in the mucus out of the nose. Inhaled air is moistened, warmed, and cleansed by the tissue that lines the nasal cavity.
