The nasal amber opens into the pharynx, a portion of which is the common assage for food and air. The pharynx opens through the larynx region to the trachea. Larynx is a cartilaginous box which helps in sound roduction and hence called the sound box. During swallowing glottis be covered by a thin elastic cartilaginous flap called epiglottis to revent the entry of food into the larynx. Trachea is a straight tube atending up to the mid-thoracic cavity which divides at the level of 3th thoracic vertebra into a right and left primary bronchi. Each bronchi undergoes repeated divisions to form the secondary and tertiary bronchi and bronchioles ending up in very thin terminal bronchioles. The tracheae, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchi, and initial bronchioles are supported by incomplete cartilaginous rings. Each minal bronchiole gives rise to a number of very thin, irregular walled nd vascularised bag-like structures called alveoli, The branching etwork of bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli comprise the lungs (Figure uter pleura 1.1). We have two lungs which are covered by a double layered pleura, ith pleural fluid between them.
