Nose | Where the air is FIRST cleaned, moistened and warmed |
Bronchi | Part of the respiratory system divided into tubes like branches on a tree |
Epiglottis | Small flap of tissue that seals off the trachea during swallowing |
Respiration | Chemical process in which oxygen and glucose react to release energy inside cells |

Alveoli | Where gas exchange occurs |
Respiratory system | Brings OXYGEN into the body |
Oxygen | The substance that moves from the alveoli into the blood |
capillaries | Surrounds each alveolus |
Diaphragm contracts | Air pressure decreases |
Trachea | Tube thatt connects to the bronchi |
