Inside the Human Body - The Respiratory System

 

The air that enters my body through my nose is on its way to my lungs! Let's see how it gets there!

My nose does many useful things for me. It smells for me. Tells me when cookies are coming out of the oven or maybe if they have started to burn. As well, it sneezes (AHH CHOO!) for me when I get pepper up my nose or if I have an allergy.

It warms the air on a cold day and cools the air on a hot day. My nose lets air in and cleans it as it goes by. The next destination: my windpipe.
