Thin hairs attached to the mucous membrane epithelium lining the respiratory tract
42
Diaphragm
Muscle separating the chest and abdomen
43

Openings through the nose carrying air into the nasal cavities
52
Oxygen (O2)
Gas that makes up 21% of the air, it passes into the bloodstream at the lungs and travels to all body cells

60
Respiration
Process of moving air into and out of the lungs; breathing
61
Trachea
