Respiratory Parts and Function Nostrils: two external openings in the nasal cavity admits air to the lungs filtration of the air moisturization of the air
Respiratory Parts and Function Adenoids: lymphatic tissue on the back of the throat filters out infections
Respiratory Parts and Function Tonsils: lymphatic tissue located on the sides of the throat filters out infections
