Answer 1

The correct path that air follows from the pharynx to the bronchioles is pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, then bronchioles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence to the question regarding the order in which inhaled air travels from the pharynx to the bronchioles is: c. pharynx → larynx → trachea → bronchi → bronchioles.

This sequence represents the airway passage that air follows during respiration, starting from the pharynx, which is the throat area that leads to both the esophagus and the larynx. Next is the larynx, also known as the voice box, followed by the trachea, commonly known as the windpipe.

The trachea then divides into two primary bronchi, which enter the lungs and continue branching into smaller airways known as bronchioles.
