Question

Which of these correctly orders the structures through which air passes during inhalation?

pharynx → trachea → larynx → bronchi
pharynx → larynx → trachea → bronchi
larynx → pharynx → bronchi → trachea
larynx → pharynx → trachea → bronchi

Answer 1

pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi

Step-by-step explanation:

During the inhalation through the nose or mouth the air first enters the "pharynx" which is also called as throat,

then the air moves towards the "larynx" . Is a passage between the pharynx and the trachea

Through larynx the air then moves toward the "trachea". It is passage connecting the larynx and the bronchi

and then the air inhaled reaches to the "bronchi" of lungs.

hence, the correct order is "pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi"
