The space between parietal and visceral pleura filled with lubricating fluid.

A dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomen and aids in breathing.

The act of taking in air as the diaphragm contracts and expands the thoracic cavity.

The process of breathing out air as the diaphragm relaxes and thoracic cavity narrows.

Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the environment.

The exchange of gases between bloodstream and body cells; also known as cellular respiration.

Irregular air cells in the ethmoid bones between the nose and eyes.

The lower part of the pharynx where food and air split towards the trachea and esophagus.

The voice box located between the pharynx and trachea, made of nine cartilages.

The largest cartilage of the larynx, commonly known as the Adam's apple.

Exchanges air during inhaling and exhaling; warms, moisturizes, and filters air.

Produce mucus, lighten skull bones, and aid in sound production.

Closes the trachea during swallowing to prevent food from entering.
