Which is the correct sequence of air passage during inhalation?
(a) Nostrils larynx
pharynx
trachea
lungs
(b) Nasal passage trachea
pharynx
larynx
alveoli
(c) larynx nostrils
pharynx
lungs
(d) Nostrils pharynx
larynx
trachea
alveoli
Air is drawn into our body through the nostrils, then it goes into the nasal passage from there it enters the pharynx then to larynx to the trachea to finally alveoli where the final oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
So the correct passage is: Nostrils ⇒ pharynx ⇒ larynx ⇒ trachea ⇒ alveoli
Hence option (d) is correct.
