**Respiratory Organs** This diagram illustrates the human respiratory system, detailing the various organs involved in the process of respiration. The main illustration shows the upper and lower respiratory tracts, while an inset provides a close-up view of the alveoli within the lungs. The diagram includes the following labeled parts: 1. **Nasal Cavity** - The hollow space behind the nose responsible for filtering, warming, and humidifying the air. 2. **Nasal Conchae** - Curved bony structures that increase surface area in the nasal cavity for air flow regulation and filtration. 3. **Nasopharynx** - The upper part of the pharynx, connecting the nasal cavity above the soft palate. 4. **Oral Cavity** - The mouth area that serves as an alternate pathway for air entry. 5. **Epiglottis** - The flap-like structure that prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing. 6. **Larynx** - Known as the voice box, it is involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea. 7. **Trachea** - A tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, allowing air passage to the lungs. 8. **Right Lung** - One of the two primary organs of respiration located in the thoracic cavity. 9. **Diaphragm** - The muscle that plays a key role in breathing by contracting and expanding the thoracic cavity. 10. **Bronchiole** - Small passageways into which the bronchi divide. 11. **Pulmonary Artery** - Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. 12. **Alveoli** - Tiny air sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs. 13. **Pulmonary Vein** - Returns oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The inset circular diagram provides a detailed view of the bronchioles leading to the alveoli, highlighting the microscopic structures where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place with the blood vessels surrounding them.
